Abstract

This article contains an analysis of some of the main drivers of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT+) diversity and inclusion in a selection of sporting organisations. Anchoring the analysis within the context of critical diversity management, some of the key theoretical approaches to LGBT+ diversity and inclusion are discussed. Drawing upon current theoretical debates and discussions on the enactment of diversity and commitment/resistance to diversity within sport, the article foregrounds LGBT+ diversity and discusses the merits of the business case for promoting LGBT + diversity. Is the Australian sport sector doing enough to improve policies and practices for LGBT+ participants? This article critically assesses how Australian Sporting Organisations (ASO) move from engagement with LGBT + diversity to the full inclusion of LGBT+ people, and concludes with insights into future directions for scholarship.This paper provides an overview of the current knowledge base surrounding the engagement and enactment of LGBT+ diversity and inclusion within some Australian sport organisations.Discusses the merits of the business case for LGBT+ diversity and theoretical framework of diversity management.Diversity work is imperative across the Australian sport sector for LGBT+ people to be fully included across all levels of sport.Concludes that sport organisations in Australia are at a point of engagement with LGBT+ diversity, working towards LGBT+ inclusion.
