Our Calendar

Name

In tennis, "at love" is how we win, hold, lose, break or get broken, but also where we begin, and start over.

@LOVE NYC/NJ

What began in 2025 as a beginners program with the Brooklyn Community Pride Center, has grown into a community through programming (BK Beginners, all-level Playdates, TGNC Tennis Night, youth clinics) grounded in diversity and inclusion; and sharing those of local LGBTQ+ groups.

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.
