The Paris Olympics in 2024 is set to uphold LGBTQ rights after Tokyo’s historic move to become the first Olympic host to include a clause in its bid that explicitly states it will protect the rights of the LGBTQ community. This is a major step forward for the Olympics, which has a long history of excluding and marginalizing LGBTQ athletes and fans.

The Paris Olympics is now taking this a step further by committing to upholding LGBTQ rights in its bid for the 2024 Games. The bid includes a clause that states, “We are committed to ensuring that everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, can participate in and enjoy the Olympic Games in a safe and inclusive environment.” This is an important step forward for the Olympics, as it shows that the organization is taking steps to ensure that LGBTQ athletes and fans are not discriminated against.
