The European Gay & Lesbian Sport Federation (EGLSF) was founded in 1989. Its aims are to:

• fight against discrimination in sport on grounds of sexual orientation
• stimulate integration in sport and emancipation of lesbians and gays
• enable and support the coming out of gay and lesbian sports men and women
