Queer Sports Clubs Are Booming
From swimming to bouldering: more and more people are connecting through sport.
Queer sports clubs across Switzerland are seeing growing membership. What began as small leisure groups has, in many places, matured into lasting structures.
Offerings range from team sports to swimming and climbing. The focus is less on competition than on shared experience in a safe environment.
Clubs report that many members are joining a sports club for the very first time. Earlier negative experiences in school sports often played a role.
For autumn, cross-regional tournaments are planned for the first time, giving the groups a chance to connect.
