Acrdgly, playg a team sport uld be of particular benef to lbian, gay, and bisexual youth (LGB) who experience disproportnally high rat of prsn, suicidaly, and self-harm (Blais et al., 2015; Kann et al., 2018; Birkett et al., 2015; Lourie & Needham, 2016; Mereish & Poteat, 2015). However, recent populatn studi, such as large-sle longudal rearch (N ≈ 99, 000) Canadian high schools, have found that LGB youth are nsistently ls likely to report playg a team sport than heterosexual youth (Doull et al., 2018) most recent wave of data the Canadian study shows that the largt dispary is between gay and heterosexual mal, wh gay mal reportg active participatn team sports at half the rate of heterosexual peers (32. 1% of femal reported playg a team sport durg the last 12 months pared wh 40% of gay/bisexual mal and 38% of lbian/bisexual are multiple reasons why a young person may choose to play, or not to play, team sports.

Although there is a pcy of published rearch wh LGB youth, is reasonable to suggt that homophobic behavur would be a factor lower participatn rat light of quantative evince that homophobic behavur team sports has a range of negative impacts on LGB young adults (Pistella et al., 2020) cludg terrg them om participatn (Bac et al., 2018). Quantative studi (Herek, 2007, 2015; Herek & McLemore, 2013) non-sport environments have also found that LGB youth avoid environments, or hi their sexualy, settgs where homophobic behavur is mon and where those that e out (reveal their sexualy) as LGB are likely to be the target of homophobic behavur.

For example, LGB youth are more likely to avoid school if they perceive homophobic attus and behavur to be mon and if they have been the target of this behavur (Black et al., 2012). Rearch has scribed homophobic attus and behavur to be mon youth team sports (Brackenridge et al., 2007; Greenspan et al., 2019a; Morrow & Gill, 2003; O’Brien et al., 2013; Osborne & Wagner, 2007; Southall et al., 2011).

However, tailed studi by Anrson, Adams, Magrath and lleagu suggt that homophobic attus and behavurs are no longer as mon team sport environments as the lerature above would suggt (Adams & Anrson, 2012; Anrson et al., 2016; Magrath, 2017; Bh et al., 2012).

Magrath (2017) acknowledg that the e of words such as ‘fag’ and rogatory jok about gay people rema mon sport, but also suggts this “homosexually-themed” behavur is not necsarily directed toward LGB athlet and is not nsired by LGB athlet to be “homophobic” (p. Instead of seeg this language as damagg to LGB youth, some studi suggt this language and phras such as ‘that’s so gay’ are ed whout malice or homophobic tent and provi a bondg mechanism between heterosexual and gay men.

More broadly, a large proportn of the sample reported havg been the target of this behavur sport, regardls of whether they had e out to teammat or had been some suggtn the rearch lerature (Southall et al., 2011) that participatg ntact ball sports might be associated wh more experienc of homophobic behavur.

THE RELATNSHIP BETWEEN ‘COMG OUT’ AS LBIAN, GAY, OR BISEXUAL AND EXPERIENC OF HOMOPHOBIC BEHAVUR YOUTH TEAM SPORTS

However, the fdgs differ to the ncln of several studi that suggt LGB people who e out team sports do not experience discrimatn, and, therefore, homophobic behavur is not an ongog issue (Anrson et al., 2016; Magrath, 2017). Collectively, the rults of the prent and other studi suggt that homophobic behavur is monly enuntered youth sports environments (Greenspan et al., 2019a; Shaw, 2019).

Regardls, rearch on the effects of stigma suggts that such behavur do negatively impact LGB youth, and acrdgly, they may be more likely to try to avoid environments, such as sport, due to the prence of this homophobic behavur (Herek, 2007, 2015). This may also expla the large dispari team sports participatn between LGB youth and their heterosexual peers reported by recent populatn studi (Doull et al., 2018; Kann et al., 2018) the target of homophobic behavur is harmful and associated wh higher rat of suici, self-harm and prsn among LGB youth (Birkett et al., 2015; Burton et al., 2013; Lourie & Needham, 2016), whereas playg team sports a safe and supportive environment, ee of discrimatory behavur, has been shown to provi LGB youth wh many psychosocial benefs (Blais et al., 2015).

Endg discrimatory behavurs and enuragg more LGB youth to play team sports has the potential to help close the gap across a wi range of negative psychosocial and health dispari between LGB youth and their peers (Greenspan et al., 2019a) rults provi empiril support to lls by other scholars (Greenspan et al., 2019b), LGB advot (Englefield et al., 2016), tors (GLSEN, 2013) and policy makers var untri (Digal, Culture, Media, Culture, and Sport Commtee, (UK), 2017; Shaw, 2019) for actn on homophobic behavur by sport anisatns.

The lears of large sport anisatn the Uned Kgdom, Uned Stat, Atralia and New Zealand have also ma public mments to end homophobia their sports (Home Office, 2011; Portwood, 2015; Shaw, 2019; World Rugby, 2015).

The samplg approach ed may also have rulted recment of LGB youth who were more likely to have enuntered homophobic behavur and th were more likely to want to share their experienc. Although is reasonable to suggt ‘g out’ preces experienc of homophobic behavur, the rrelatnal sign of the study means that al ferenc nnot be ma on the relatnship. Notwhstandg the limatns, this study vtigated for the first time whether g out to team mat would be associated wh more or ls experienc of homophobic behavur by LGB young people.

There are multiple possible reasons why sportspeople may engage homophobic behavur, cludg the possibily that such behavur reflects an unnsired adherence to current social norms amongst other players or fans, rather than beg driven by negative attus towards LGB people per se, an argument advanced McCormack et al.
