COMMENT: UNED BY GBY, BUT A LONG ROAD AHEAD TO END DISCRIMATNTHE BGHAM CUP, THE “WORLD CUP OF GAY GBY” IS A STEP THE RIGHT DIRECTN BUT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO UNTER HYPER-MASCULE AND HETERONORMATIVE ATTUS TO SPORT.ATRALIA'S FIRST GAY GBY TEAM, THE SYDNEY CONVICTS ( BLUE) PLAYG ANOTHER GBY UNN TEAM. (AAP)THIS WEEKEND, PETORS WILL E TO SYDNEY TO PETE THE BGHAM CUP - THE MEN’S RUGBY UNN GAY WORLD CUP.SPORT IS ONE OF THE MOST QUEERPHOBIC PLAC OUR SOCIETY. A RECENT SURVEY SHOWED THAT A HUGE MAJORY OF PARTICIPANTS - BOTH GAY AND STRAIGHT - HAD HEARD OR EXPERIENCED HOMOPHOBIC SULTS SPORTG PETNS. THIS WAS EPOMISED RECENTLY WHEN A CHANNEL 7 MENTATOR LLED AN AFL PLAYER A ‘BIG POOFTER’ ON LIVE TELEVISN.WH THIS NTEXT MD, THE BGHAM CUP IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT EVENT FOR ATRALIA. IT’S ALSO ONE THAT HAS PUNCHED WELL ABOVE S WEIGHT. IN THE LEAD UP TO THE CUP, THE AFL, NRL, ARU, CRICKET ATRALIA AND THE FOOTBALL FERATN OF ATRALIAN ANNOUNCED THE TABLISHMENT OF A JOT ANTI-HOMOPHOBIA AND CLN AMEWORK FOR ATRALIAN SPORTS. THIS IS THE MOST PREHENSIVE ANTI-HOMOPHOBIC POLICY ATRALIAN SPORTG HISTORY AND ONE THAT WILL HOPEFULLY HAVE SIGNIFINT IMPACTS ON THE WAY SEXUALY IS TREATED WH OUR S. WHILE THIS POLICY IS SENTIAL, ’S IMPORTANT WE DON’T DOWNPLAY THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CUP SELF. MANY MIGHT SEE AN ULTIMATE GOAL WHERE HOMOPHOBIA IS ERADITED OM OUR MASTREAM PETNS SO QUEER SPORTG EVENTS NO LONGER NEED TO EXIST, BUT THAT WOULD BE A MISTAKE.  I JOED THE GAY-IENDLY GBY TEAM THE BRISBANE HTLERS LAST YEAR - SICK OF HOMOPHOBIA, BOTH OVERT AND SUAL - THE OTHER TEAMS I HAD BEEN PART OF. WHILST THE HTLERS GAVE ME A NEW MUNY, THEY HAVE ALSO DRAMATILLY CHANGED MY IAS OF SPORT.WHEN WE THK OF SPORT THERE ARE PARTICULAR STEREOTYP THAT GO WH . IN PARTICULAR, OUR MASTREAM SPORTS ARE SEEN AS HYPER-MASCULE. IT’S THE SAME FOR BOTH MEN, AND WOMEN - YOU’VE GOT TO BE A BLOKEY MAN OR A BUTCH WOMAN TO BE ABLE TO PETE (AND IF YOU’RE NOT A BUTCH WOMAN YOUR ONLY ROLE IS TO BE OBJECTIFIED BY MEN). SPORT IS A WORLD THAT PLAC MASCULY AS THE IAL TRA FOR THE PETOR - AND EXPECTS EVERYONE TO F THAT MOULD.BUT THE HTLERS THAT ISN’T THE SE. IT’S NOT JT THAT HOMOPHOBIA ISN’T AN ISSUE - THE STEREOTYP DISAPPEAR AS WELL. OUR GAY MEN N BE BUTCH AND OUR STRAIGHT MEN N BE MP AND NO ONE QUTNS . THIS REPRENTS THE SORT OF GOAL WE SHOULD BE AIMG FOR. IT’S NOT JT ABOUT ELIMATG HOMOPHOBIA, BUT ALLOWG PEOPLE TO BE EE THEIR PERSONALY. THAT’S NOT TO SAY THAT BGHAM IS THE BE ALL AND END ALL. DPE HOSTG A WOMEN’S EXHIBN MATCH THIS YEAR, BGHAM IS STILL ALL-MALE - LEAVG WOMEN OUT OF THE PICTURE. DISCSN ABOUT ISSU RELATED TO TRANS* AND TERSEX PARTICIPANTS HAS ALSO LARGELY BEEN MISSG.“SPORT IS A WORLD THAT PLAC MASCULY AS THE IAL TRA FOR THE PETOR - AND EXPECTS EVERYONE TO F THAT MOULD.”BUT BGHAM - AND OTHER TOURNAMENTS LIKE THE ‘OUTGAM’ - REPRENT SOMETHG VERY IMPORTANT. THEY REPRENT THE POTENTIAL CREATN OF NEW SPORTG STUTNS THAT OUR EXISTG ON SHOULD BE EMULATG - ON THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE BASED SEXUAL POLICS REMOVE SEXUALY OM THE EQUATN. ON THAT DON’T JT CHALLENGE HOMOPHOBIA SPORT, BUT ALSO THE ACCEPTED NORM OF HETEROSEXUALY - AND ALL OF THE STEREOTYP AND PREJUDIC THAT E WH THAT.UNFORTUNATELY, WHILE THE NEW ANTI-HOMOPHOBIA POLICI OUR MA S ARE REALLY IMPORTANT, I QUTN WHETHER THEY N GO THIS FAR. I WORRY THEY ULD END UP FORCG QUEER PEOPLE TO THE STRAIGHT SPORTG MOULD - ONE THAT IS STILL HYPER-MASCULE AND STILL EXTREMELY SEXIST. INSTEAD OF GIVG MORE PEOPLE ACCS TO THE ‘NORM’, I FEEL WE SHOULD GET RID OF THE THE IA OR THE NORM THE FIRST PLACE.  A LOT OF PROGRS HAS BEEN MA CHALLENGG HOMOPHOBIA SPORT THIS YEAR. BUT A LOT MORE N BE DONE. LOOKG TOWARDS TOURNAMENTS LIKE THE BGHAM CUP IS A GREAT PLACE TO START.SIMON COPLAND IS A EELANCE WRER AND CLIMATE MPAIGNER.

I play Brisbane’s only gay-iendly gby unn team, the Brisbane Htlers. ” Lookg back, I’m pretty sure what I meant is “basketball is full of homophob. It was my turn of the phase that many gay guys go through, where one aims for the perfectly sculpted body (I have fally accepted my fate of beg known as a ‘cub’—a young, hairy and solidly-built guy).

INTERNATNAL GAY RUGBY

Although, whilst I n’t remember any experienc of open homophobia, the heteronormativy—the assumptn of straightns—was always prent.

Movg to Queensland after spendg all my life Canberra that issue beme much more proment; playg a men’s Frisbee team up north, I noticed more open homophobia. The homophobia was jt cintal, not vic. I’d always been terted gby, and after readg about the Sydney Convicts—Sydney’s gay-iendly team—I thought I’d see if Brisbane had an equivalent.
