Paragraph text
Numerous issues arise in respect of persons who are lesbian, gay or bisexual in the context of sport. In a recent six-country survey, 80 per cent of respondents reported having witnessed or experienced homophobia in sport, and nearly 20 per cent of gay men reported having been assaulted during sports activities. In certain jurisdictions, lesbian athletes have been harassed and subjected to violence, including "corrective rape", on the basis of their sexual orientation.
