ONE in four LGBTQ+ people do not feel welcome at live sports events, new research commissioned by Stonewall has found.

Research was conducted through a market research and insight agency between January 24 and March 11 this year among 2,000 LGBTQ+ people and found that some still feel unwelcome or unsafe playing or watching sport.

It also found that one in four LGBTQ+ people do not feel welcome in community sport groups or community team sports.
