International Gay Bowling Organization - IGBO

aments around the world. IGBO is guided by the principles of community,
inclusion, and solidarity as we:
● foster educational opportunities to local communities about bowling, LGBTQ+ history,
and other topics of importance;
● build communication avenues between member leagues, joining LGBTQ+ communities
together in solidarity; and
● plan social opportunities to promote the sport of bowling and to enrich the lives of
individual athletes through leagues and tournaments. Non-Discrimination & Participation Statement
IGBO recognizes access to sport as a human right. Community is a primary pillar of IGBO and
cannot be fulfilled if any member of our community is intentionally or unintentionally excluded. We strive to continually listen, learn, and adapt to ensure every member of IGBO has a sense of
belonging in our community. IGBO promotes gender inclusion by recognizing an individual player’s self-identified gender;
and avoiding gender-based distinctions or divisions in sporting activities, while considering
member countries’ cultures. IGBO is committed to celebrating each athlete’s accomplishments
and skill, regardless of gender identity
