Abstract

The erasure of marginalized people, especially LGBTQ+ people, is commonplace in sport. As sport has become more commercialized, even at grassroots and youth levels), one group that has become even further marginalized and dehumanized are sports officials. Understanding the intersection of marginalized identities is important; as such, this study examined how homophobia and transphobia interplay with the sports officiating profession. Semistructured interviews with 16 self-identified LGBTQ+ referees revealed a series of organizational and social factors that led officials to either pass as non-LGBTQ+ or to come out as LGBTQ+, leading to the development of the LGBTQ+ Referee Identity Management Process Model. Implications for better supporting LGBTQ+ officials to promote higher levels of retention and career satisfaction are presented.
“这是我要讲的故事,但我还没有准备好”:LGBTQ+体育官员的污名管理
排斥边缘人群,尤其是LGBTQ+人群,在体育界是司空见惯的事。随着体育变得越来越商业化(甚至在基层和青年层面),体育官员这一群体被进一步边缘化,失去了人性。理解边缘化身份的交集很重要;因此,本研究考察了同性恋恐惧症和变性恐惧症如何与体育裁判职业相互作用。通过对16名自认为是LGBTQ+裁判员的半结构化访谈,我们发现了一系列组织和社会因素,导致裁判员要么以非LGBTQ+身份通过,要么以LGBTQ+身份出来,从而形成了LGBTQ+裁判员身份管理过程模型。提出了更好地支持LGBTQ+官员以提高保留率和职业满意度的启示。
