Grass roots organisations are key to bringing the LGBTI community together. We love profiling the teams and sports clubs that play a key role in keeping us active.
Here is a complete list of the sports clubs and teams that we have connected with around the world.

Gay sports clubs in London invite LGBT people to come to a free taster session during Out For Sport Week
With just one week before the Olympics begin in the UK capital, LGBT Londoners are being called on to embrace the spirit of the games and join a gay sports club.
Out For Sport Week will run in between the Olympic and Paralympic Games, from 13 to 19 August, and aims to encourage more lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people to get involved with sport.
OutPlay Squash, Hackney Women's Football Club, London Frontrunners, KB Kickboxing and Out to Swim are among the 18 clubs offering free taster sessions during the week.
Gay sports clubs around the world report a continuing struggle to attract and retain women members
If you look at the website of any LGBT community-based sports club, the goals, objectives and sentiment are generally pretty similar and very inclusive.
For example, Frontrunners proclaims that it's mission is to 'promote the sports of running, walking and related athletic activities for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders and their supporters'. But if you talk to most Frontrunners clubs around the world and their membership is dominated by middle-aged gay men.
Matthew Jenkin escapes the treadmill and burns up the pavement with London gay and lesbian running group the Frontrunners during his Olympic body challenge
Whether it's dashing for a train or having to sprint to a meeting when you're late, like many Londoners, I feel like I spend my life running.
So when I joined international gay and lesbian running club the Frontrunners for a circuit around one of the UK capital's most beautiful parks, I felt like a fish to water.
The international running club is going from strength to strength - we talk to Frontrunners from around the world about what this unique club means to them
When American author Patricia Nell Warren had her novel The Front Runner first published in 1974, it would have been beyond her wildest expectations that it would sell more than 10 million copies. But what's even more impressive is that the novel has been the inspiration for an international grass-roots movement.
Warren's novel tells the story of the relationship between an ex-Marine track coach and his Olympic athlete. It's been translated into 10 languages and is widely acclaimed as one of the most popular gay love stories of all time.

Love, love, love my purchase.
We are first time homeowners and just painted our exterior. I firmly believe everything is in the details and this decal is just perfect. Although our home's curb appeal is a work in progress...we are off to a great start thanks to Leen The Graphic Queen!

We got the tan to stand out on my dark door and match the trim. It looks beautiful. Was easy to apply, just took a few moments. The numbers came attached to wax paper and went onto the door in one piece. Looks better than the hgtv magazine. Would definitely recommend.

I saw this decal on the door of the "Come On In" page in the September 2014 issue of HGTV magazine. After continually going back to that page to look at the door, I decided to just order it for myself. The ordering process was easy, the price was great, and the product came in a few days. The decal is very easy to work with, but I did practice with the little bird decal that came along in the package. I had the package open and the numbers on our front door in just a few minutes. Thanks for a simple, great solution to dress up a door.

I love this door decal and it's truly unique and the font is different. It gave our front door the jewelry it needed! Not only does it make our home stand out in the neighborhood, it's easy to read from the street! Put it on the door in minutes and by the next day I had three neighborhood 'walkers' wanting to know where I got it! Shipping was fast and the 'little bird' was a wonderful surprise! I used the bronze color to match my door hardware.
