Reinstate the Use of Pride Tape in Sports

The Issue

Pride Tape, a rainbow-colored hockey tape, has been a symbol of support and solidarity for LGBTQ+ athletes and fans in the sports community. It's not just about aesthetics; it's about visibility, acceptance, and respect. According to a study by Out on the Fields, 80% of people have witnessed or experienced homophobia in sports (source: Out on the Fields). The removal of Pride Tape is a step backward from our collective goal of inclusivity. By reinstating its use, we can continue to foster an environment where everyone feels welcome regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Let's stand together for equality and diversity in sports. Please sign this petition to bring back Pride Tape.
