What is 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.
