RGC Supporting Stonewall Rainbow Laces Campiagn 29 Nov 2019

The important Stonewall campaign runs through to Sunday 8 December, and RGC are proud to be supporting it.

You can visit stonewall.org.uk/rainbowlaces for more information.

Rainbow Laces has helped foster positive attitudes towards LGBT people in sport and persuaded allies to play their part.

Many LGBT people live and breathe sport, however, according to Stonewall research, four in ten LGBT people (43 per cent) think public sporting events aren’t welcoming for them.

Whether we're cheering or competing, we are all at our best when we feel part of the team and we can all lead the way by doing little things to be more inclusive, to make sport everyone’s game.

Sport has an amazing power to bring people together. Following and taking part can give us community, energy and a sense of belonging.

Stonewall is encouraging people to:

Step up and play your part, others will follow.
Challenge anti-LGBT language. Celebrate LGBT people in sport. Share your story.
Wear your Rainbow Laces and show you care.
Play your part, bring Rainbow Laces into your community and Come Out Active during this year’s campaign.
Do something active while wearing your rainbow laces, raise vital funds for Stonewall and tell everyone why you support LGBT equality in sport.
