Sports Media LGBT+

Sports Media LGBT+ is a network and consultancy advocating for inclusion in sports media and sports in general. Launched by Jon Holmes in 2017, the group welcomes all LGBT+ individuals and allies. The network aims to create welcoming environments for LGBT+ individuals to achieve their goals authentically.

They offer consultancy, resources, and services to various organisations, and operate public channels on social platforms. The group also maintains connections with industry bodies like the Sports Journalists’ Association and Pride Sports UK.

As an advocacy group, they champion LGBT+ individuals in sport at all levels, committed to LGBT+ inclusion and tackling instances of homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia. Their Google News ranked website welcomes content submissions and pitches, offering published articles a wider audience and strong social coverage.
