Khalen Saunders, defensive tackle for the New Orleans Saints, is dedicated to making sports inclusive for LGBTQ+ children. He announced a friendly football combine this summer during the GLAAD Media Awards. This initiative is personal for Saunders, whose brother is part of the LGBTQ+ community. Alongside former NFL player R.K. Russell, Saunders advocates for allyship, recognizing the need for representation in predominantly male sports. He aims to foster an environment that encourages LGBTQ+ youth to embrace their love for football without fear of discrimination.
Khalen Saunders emphasizes that being an ally means actively supporting the LGBTQ+ community in sports, ensuring a safe space for all kids to engage with football.
Saunders hopes his football camp will enable LGBTQ+ youth to explore their love for sports in an accepting environment, overcoming past hesitations due to their identities.
