Welcome to Game On JOY 94.9’s Home of Sport every Wednesday from 6-7pm where you’ll hear where you can get your game on! This show is all about showcasing where sport is safe, inclusive, welcoming and fun for the Rainbow community!<br /> On the show we speak with Pride In Sport award nominee – Ben Dew, Inclusion, Equity and Diversity Pathways and Events Specialist with Tennis Australia who is in the LGBTQ+ Ally of the Year Awards category about inclusion in tennis. Ben talks us through where Tennis Australia has demonstrated sustainable committed to increasing opportunities and accessibility to tennis for LGBTQ+ people.<br /> And after 6,30 we replay an interview on an earlier show with Zander Murray, the first male Scottish senior player to come out as gay. Zander shares his struggle with his sexuality and hiding his authentic self at the same time as forging a career as a professional footballer and being a top goal scorer. If you are ever in Scotland, you can check out his jersey which he wore when he came out – it’s now proudly on display as an artefact in the Scottish Football Museum. It’s there so that school kids visiting can see that today there is a place for the LGBTIQA+ community to be out, loud and proud in elite male sport!<br /> We also hear from Keir Ford, Committee member Emerald City Kickball and James Goldsworthy aka The Silver Stone about why you should join the Kickballers every Sunday afternoon for a kick in the park with friends!<br /> A big thank you to our wonderful guests for their support of an inclusive and supportive sporting culture and mindset, and encouraging everyone in the Rainbow community to get their game on!<br /> And thank you for being a part of Team Game On!<br />
