A group representing LGBT members of sports clubs says governing bodies have to show leadership when it comes to inclusion in sport.
Sporting Pride has welcomed the coming out announcement by English footballer Jake Daniels who became the first openly gay player in 30 years yesterday.
Sport Ireland has compiled a new diversity and inclusion in sport policy that is due to be published in the coming weeks.
Chairperson of Sporting Pride Aidan Walsh says organisations have to buy into the policy and not just tick boxes.
