Ja es va notar als Jocs Olímpics 2020 on el nombre d’atletes LGBTQ+ que van participar va ser el major que en tots els esdeveniments olímpics d’estiu anteriors.
Enguany, la quantitat d’atletes obertament LGBTQ+ que participen en Pequín 2022 és el doble dels quals van competir en 2018, la qual cosa converteix als Jocs d’enguany en un moment monumental tant per als atletes queer com per al públic.
Tot i que no hi ha cap atleta català, hem volgut fer un repàs per les persones que competeixen i que si han sortit de l’armari!
