SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 Most football players are used to receiving motivational messages ahead of game time, but for the group of players from the San Francisco LGBT Center and Pride House SF, their message was extra special. It came from the very top of the football world \u2014 NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFootball is for everyone. Thanks for being a part of it, and for being a part of our Super Bowl,\u201d Goodell said via video message Wednesday evening. \u201cBe proud of who you are, because we\u2019re proud of you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The NFL\u2019s messaging could not be clearer: The most powerful sports league in the country is welcoming and appreciating LGBTQ+ participation. Nick Ward, director of programming and partnerships at Pride House SF, said he was impressed with the NFL\u2019s boldness.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo see such an influential organization be so vocal about inclusion is not only important, it\u2019s surprising in this moment,\u201d Ward said. \u201cThey\u2019ve been really intentional about creating this space with us. They\u2019ve been amazing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The San Francisco LGBT Center has been creating inclusive spaces like that since its founding in 2002. Rosemary Gardner, the center\u2019s director of community programs, is currently responsible for that creation process. Many of those programs are focused on helping members of the queer community ages 16 to 24 find spaces in which they can be themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

She said events like the Pride Flag Football Clinic serve that purpose well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s always been important for queer kids to feel accepted and to be seen and validated,\u201d Gardner said. \u201cIt makes sense to ensure that if kids are playing a sport, that they\u2019re really able to show up as themselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Flag football has allowed members of the queer community to show up as themselves in San Francisco for years. While the San Francisco Gay Flag Football League didn\u2019t officially become a league in 2010, it has been operating since 1998.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It serves as a branch of the National Gay Flag Football League, which has collaborated with the NFL for several years. That collaboration was in full force Wednesday night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c(SFGFFL) board members are here to help these youth and let these youth know that there is a safe place on the field that they can explore their athleticism,\u201d NGFFL member Jon Erickson said. \u201cIt\u2019s an incredible opportunity for the local community here. \u2026 It\u2019s part of the magic of what we do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Trinity Monteiro serves as the NFL\u2019s senior coordinator for social responsibility and seeks to help create that magic through league events. She\u2019s aware the NFL, and football as a whole, have typically been heteronormative spaces, but said opportunities like the Pride Flag Football Clinic are helping to change that stereotype.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis flag (football) opportunity brings access to all different types of people,\u201d Monteiro said. \u201cWe understand the power that we have. We want to reinforce \u2026 that this game is for everyone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Even after the Super Bowl festivities end and the NFL departs San Francisco, the San Francisco LGBT Center and Pride House SF will continue creating spaces for their communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2026 FIFA World Cup, hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico \u2014 which will include games in San Francisco \u2014 is another key focus for the Pride House\u2019s outreach programs. However, the organization is also fully aware the real work continues after these large-scale events end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about consistency. Ensuring that it\u2019s not just a moment for the Super Bowl, it\u2019s consistent whatever the time of year,\u201d Ward said. \u201cWhat happens next? What do we do when this is all over, to ensure that we\u2019re still supporting folks in the community?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Spaces that support the queer community have existed for generations in San Francisco. Though things are far from perfect for the city\u2019s LGBTQ+ residents, San Francisco\u2019s long history of being at the forefront of queer acceptance provides the blueprint for the road ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

The city boasts, among other achievements, the first openly gay political candidate in the United States (<\/span>Jos\u00e9<\/span> Sarria, who ran for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors), the first openly gay public official in California (Harvey Milk, also on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors) and the first lesbian bar (Mona\u2019s 440 Cub). Last summer, Rikki\u2019s, the city\u2019s first sports bar to focus entirely on women\u2019s sports, opened in The Castro, a queer neighborhood in central San Francisco.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe actually were thinking someone else in San Francisco would do this. We kept waiting and waiting, and nobody did,\u201d Rikki\u2019s co-owner Danielle Thoe said. \u201cSo eventually we decided: We\u2019ll do it ourselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Thoe\u2019s story is an example of self-reliance, but support and inclusion have started to come from outside the LGBTQ+ community as well, especially from the Bay Area\u2019s professional sports teams. The San Francisco Giants, Golden State Warriors and San Jose Sharks all celebrate annual Pride nights. The San Francisco 49ers, meanwhile, have a fan group called 49ers PRIDE, which hosts seasonal watch parties and drag brunches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But members of the queer community know there is still a long road to full acceptance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to see folks not surprised that queer folks are here and they feel part of this community,\u201d Gardner said. \u201cI want it to just be a given that this is a space where queer folks can come and be included. I hope it feels like, \u2018Yes, of course they\u2019re doing this. Why would they not do this?\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Achieving that level of inclusion in the NFL\u2019s space is no small feat. As Thoe notes, the league is widely perceived as skewing heavily cisgender and straight \u2014 both in terms of its players and its fan base. Yet the league still chose to host multiple events geared toward the queer community, including a Pride Night gathering.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo have the league putting their name behind that \u2026 I think for them, it\u2019s a small step, but it feels really big, because you don\u2019t see that much reflected on an NFL field,\u201d Thoe said. \u201cIt\u2019s a good human decision.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

That \u201cgood human decision\u201d might have seemed simple and small, but it didn\u2019t happen overnight. Months and years of support and inclusion \u2014 in San Francisco writ large, in the general community of sports fandom and, most recently, directly from the NFL, have helped build to this moment \u2014 a welcome and celebration of the queer community by the league.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having LGBTQ+ youth play flag football in the middle of the league\u2019s weeklong Super Bowl buildup wasn\u2019t an accident, it was an intentional culmination of what the NFL aspires to represent. For Ward, Wednesday night was a time not just for joy, but also for thankfulness.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRepresentation is the key to building your confidence and getting to know who you are as a queer person,\u201d Ward said. \u201cThe more visibility and representation there is in all areas, that\u2019s how we survive. I\u2019m just so grateful that we could do this together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
