Mission
Tennis is amazing. We make it easier for LGBTQ+ people everywhere to get and stay involved in tennis, through social media, events, and programs.
Name
In tennis, "at love" is how we win, hold, lose, break or get broken, but also where we begin, and start over.
In Brooklyn & NJ
(Not just) another LGBTQ+ group! we're building a super inclusive community through innovative programs (BK Beginners, youth clinics, Playdates, watch parties, and tournaments) and sharing those of local groups. Built in Brooklyn, for all of us.

LGBTQ+ Tennis
Beginning in the late 1970s, from Dallas and San Diego to London and Canberra, LGBTQ+ tennis groups started forming worldwide, eventually creating local competitions. In 1991 the Gay and Lesbian Tennis Alliance (GLTA) was formalized to support tournaments globally.
Today, tennis is the world’s most expansive LGBTQ+ sports community, comprising hundreds of thousands of players and fans, dozens of local groups and leagues, 80+ GLTA tournaments, blogs, brands, and podcasts, spanning five continents.
