Lesbian Archive Time Line. This timeline highlights some of the more hidden facets of mainly British

A new sports history timeline, Out of the Blocks, takes us on a tour of LGBT history in sport – from 14 AD to 2018 (yes – that’s 6 years in the future!)

Thanks to Tony Bilton, we can now see how LGBT participation has always been a part of sport. The timeline includes some of the excesses of the ancients, which would be illegal and unacceptable now, as well as travesties of justice like Michael Sundin, whose death went almost unannounced because he was a Blue Peter presenter.

To access the updated timeline, click Out of the Blocks (4) And for a list of LGBT Olympians, go here

Ther is also the UK LGBT Sports Timeline written by Chris Morgan, Gay Games Ambassador & World Champion Powerlifter, in celebration of UK LGBT History Month 2012.

Many Thanks to Trevor Burchick, Lou Englefield and Jonathan Harbourne for their help during this project.

China LGBT Friendly Workplaces Have Better Productivity, Says China LGBT-friendly working environments would help boost productivity, said an employment expert in China. Zhou Haibin, a project officer of the International Labor Organization, said that a recent research project conducted in 130 companies showed that staff mobility was reduced 7.7 percent and productivity increased 6.5 percent after the companies implemented anti-homophobia policies. “If LGBT, or lesbian, gay bisexual and transgender, employees feel more comfortable about their sexual orientation in the workplace, their overall performance will be better,” he said. According to the report, released by the Aibai Culture & Education Center - a Beijing-based gay rights organization - only 6.29 percent of gay people in China choose to be open about their sexuality in the workplace. About 53 percent of the interviewees have been verbally abused and 32.35 percent have witnessed or experienced physical attacks due to people’s sexual orientation at their workplaces, resulting in a lack of interest, inability to focus, low efficiency and even resignations, it said.
