Rainbow Laces  

The University of Edinburgh is committed to ensuring all students, including those from the LGBTQ+ community, feel welcome and supported in sport.  

Through the ‘Rainbow Laces’ campaign we aim to celebrate the achievements of LGBTQ+ people within sport and inspire the next generation of LGBTQ+ athletes.  

We work alongside Stonewall who organise the annual Rainbow Laces Campaign. This annual campaign is dedicated to ensuring people from an LGBTQ+ background feel welcomed and included in sport. Wearing rainbow laces demonstrates the commitment to having open and honest conversations about the experiences of LGBTQ+ people in sport.
