Sweden is getting it’s first LGBTQ-certified sports stadium

Sweden is getting its first LGBTQ-certified sports stadium, in the student city of Uppsala.

All staff at the Studenternas Stadium, an hour north of Stockholm, will be trained in LGBT issues in order to create a welcoming environment at the venue, and the facilities will also be designed to be as inclusive as possible.

The LGBTQ certification means that all toilets and dressing rooms will be adapted so that there are accessible options for all athletes and spectators, regardless of their gender identity, including gender neutral toilets where possible.
