Our Name

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

Summer@LOVE

Our summer of tennis will be anchored by activations during the 2026 US Open, including watch parties, clinics, and a new tournament experience on the GLTA tour.

Pride Slam 2026 (August 29-30) will bring together LGBTQ+ players from NYC and around the world.

Registration opens March 28th.

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.
