Veryfriendly reports on a survey carried out by sports psychology consultants Cabinet MB on the attitude of athletes to homosexuals. Read Veryfriendly's story HERE, and see the report on the firm's website HERE.
In short, The main results show that athletes do demonstrate greater homophobic attitudes than non-athletes, in particular for male homosexuality. Gay men are the victims of the most discrimination, while lesbians are relatively well accepted by athletes, both male and female. They observed no effect of the type of sport, or between team sports and individual sports.
A broader study is to take place with the regional administration for youth and sport of Aquitaine to attempt to see if there is any effect from the sport practiced, the type of sport, and the level of practice.
