Abstract

The purpose of this theoretical article is to present a multilevel model for understanding the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) sport participants. The author argues that macro (i.e., cultural norms, institutionalized practices), meso (i.e., leader behaviors, organizational culture, group support), and micro (i.e., sexual identity, salient identities, sex) level factors influence the attitudes toward and experiences and behaviors of sexual minorities within the sport context. Research and policy implications are discussed.
