Foundation
Happy Pride Month
LGBT Pride Month is dedicated to the celebration and commemoration of LGBT+ pride.
Pride Month began after the Stonewall riots, a series of gay liberation protests in 1969, and has since spread outside of the United States.
Modern-day Pride Month both honours the movement for LGBT rights and celebrates LGBT culture.
The PSA Foundation aims to support the LGBT+ squash community by:
-Ensuring that from the PSA Tour to local clubs, squash is an inclusive game.
-Promoting a community where LGBT+ players are accepted on and off court.
-Highlighting the various LGBT+ tournaments that take place across the world.
-The PSA Foundation wants to highlight more LGBT+ topics, support this community further and learn from these communities about how we can make our sport more welcoming.
To celebrate this month and to highlight the importance of LGBT+ representation, the PSA Foundation has a range of pieces coming up, including:
-An interview with former World No.2 Jenny Duncalf, who recently became a mother with her wife, former World Number No.1 squash player Rachael Grinham
-An interview with World No.44 Todd Harrity about his identity as an openly gay professional player
-The PSA Foundation also take a look at Northern Rebound’s Annual LGBT+ squash tournament, which takes place the National Squash Centre in Manchester.
