United Kingdom -- Britain's biggest sports organizations have signed up to the new Charter for Action, which aims to make sport a welcoming environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.

The Charter for Action has four principle points:

1. We believe that everyone should be able to participate in and enjoy sport – whoever they are and whatever their background.

2. We believe that sport is about fairness and equality, respect and dignity. Sport teaches individuals how to strive and succeed, how to cope with success and disappointment, and brings people together with a common goal.
