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

We're building an inclusive community IRL and online through our own programs (BK Beginners, youth clinics, Playdates, QTs Challenge) and sharing those of local groups.

Built in Brooklyn, for everyone, especially queer women, TGNCNB, and BIPOC folks.

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.
