Our Commitment to Inclusion

Stonewall Sports is dedicated to creating a community of diverse participants via organized sports and activities that take place in inclusive spaces. We are founded on the pillars of respect, holistic wellness, open-mindedness and the appreciation of diverse backgrounds.

Our shared responsibility is to bring our community together, empower individuals, and provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment to learn and grow, thus uplifting those who are part of the Stonewall community and beyond.

We believe in uplifting and celebrating all individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community - including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, Two-Spirit and queer people, among others - and we welcome friends and allies into these spaces with open arms.

In pursuit of these values, we encourage each of our participating teams to embrace these principles with representation from members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Our Sports Operations team is empowered and encouraged to open a dialogue with teams when they see an opportunity to promote diversity and inclusivity within our spaces.

Land Acknowledgement

The 9th Annual Stonewall Sports National Tournament & Summit will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philadelphia and the greater Delaware Valley region are located on the Indigenous territory known as Lenapehoking, the ancestral and traditional homelands of the Lenape people past, present, and future. Stonewall Sports honors and respects the land and peoples of this region. We also acknowledge the many sacrifices that were made as a result of forced removal and settler colonialism. We offer our deepest gratitude for this space and encourage attendees to engage in the history of the Lenni-Lenape and all Indigenous peoples.
