The Twin Cities metro is home to a remarkable number of athletes who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community. The sports that they participate in are wide-ranging, from soccer to basketball to Quidditch, and the teams are all welcoming and inclusive to new members as well as spectators. 

Whether you want to join in as a member of a team or simply cheer on these athletes from the sidelines, here’s a listing of what is out there in our community sports scene and where to find out more details about the leagues.
