This 2024 Olympics database includes profiles of the out gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and nonbinary Olympians. The 2024 Paris Games mark a significant increase in LGBTQ representation, highlighting the progress towards inclusivity and acceptance in the sports world. There are also a record number of out male Olympic athletes.
Our interactive list allows you to filter by country, sport and competition category, making it easy to find and learn more about each athlete. Whether you’re looking for athletes from your home country or interested in a specific sport, our database is designed to help you connect with and support these trailblazing individuals. Note: Equestrian and sailing are nongender events, so those athletes can be found under that competition category.
