The literature outlines knowledge, methodologies, and theoretical and practical tools to make sports contexts welcoming and affirming towards LGBTQ+ older people, promoting their healthy aging. Four themes were explored: 1) double stereotype: age and minorized identity; 2) discrimination and invisibilization of older LGBTQ+ adults; 3) access to sports services; 4) gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity: specificity. The proposed policy and good practice interventions have three dimensions: awareness, training, and situated action. The aim is to promote affirmative spaces that prevent discrimination and value everyone’s identity.

Abstract
The literature outlines knowledge, methodologies, and theoretical and practical tools to make sports contexts welcoming and affirming towards LGBTQ+ older people, promoting their healthy aging. Four themes were explored: 1) double stereotype: age and minorized identity; 2) discrimination and invisibilization of older LGBTQ+ adults; 3) access to sports services; 4) gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity: specificity. The proposed policy and good practice interventions have three dimensions: awareness, training, and situated action. The aim is to promote affirmative spaces that prevent discrimination and value everyone’s identity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
