Homeseksualnost v športu

Piršič, Sandra (author), Razpotnik, Špela (mentor)

Homoseksualnost, kot tabu tema, še vedno buri duhove v današnji razviti zahodni družbi. V teoretičnem delu diplomskega dela sem predstavila zgodovino homoseksualnosti od stare Grčije do 20. stoletja. Posebno poglavje je namenjeno slovenski homoseksualni sceni in homoseksualnim organizacijam v Sloveniji in njihovemu delovanju. Teoretični modeli razvoja homoseksualne identitete, pomen in vloga razkritja le-te, služijo boljšemu razumevanju homoseksualnosti. Ker je diplomsko delo osredotočeno na homoseksualno manjšino v ekipnem športu (košarki), obravnavanje procesa socializacije, funkcije športa, enakopravnosti med spoloma oziroma njenega pomanjkanja zaradi bioloških in kulturnih razlik med spoloma in spoznavanje vrhunskega športa ter vsega, kar ta predstavlja, služi širšemu pogledu na športno udejstvovanje. Naslednje poglavje nadgradi razumevanje s spoznavanjem homoseksualnosti v športu skozi zgodovino in športom LGBT. Teoretični del se konča z razlago nekaterih najpomembnejših pojmov, kot sta homofobija in hetero-normativnost. Istospolno usmerjeni športniki in športnice niso pogosto tema raziskovanja, zato sem se v diplomskem delu osredotočila na istospolno usmerjene košarkarice in žal le enega košarkarja. Zanimale so me njihove življenjske izkušnje povezane z drugačno spolno identiteto, tako v košarkarskem svetu, kot v ožjem družinskem in prijateljskem okolju. Z raziskavo sem želela ugotoviti, če so razkrili svojo homoseksualno identiteto v košarkarskem okolju, pa tudi v zasebnem življenju, komu so se najprej razkrili, kakšne so bile njihove izkušnje, zakaj so se odločili spregovoriti oziroma zakaj se niso odločili razkriti, ali so se počutili na kakršen koli način stigmatizirani zaradi homoseksualnosti in kaj menijo o toleranci v športu danes.

Abstract

Homosexuality as a tabu subject still creates agitation in developed western society. In theoretical part of dissertation I presented history of homosexuality from old Greece to 20. century. Special chapter is intended to slovenian homosexual scene and to homosexual organizations in Slovenia and their activites in this field. Theoretical models of developing homosexual identity, the meaning and the role of coming out serve towards better understanding of homosexuality. Because this dissertation is focused on homosexual minority in team sports (basketball), dealing with socializational process, sport function, gender equality or better the lack of it because of biological and cultural gender differences and knowing professional sport and everything around it, helps us to win better perspective regarding sports. Next chapter upgrades our unerstanding with closer knowing of homosexuality in sports through history and LGBT sports. Theoretical part closes with explanation of important concepts such as homophobia and heteronormativity. Homosexual athletes are not very often subject of research, therefore I focused in this dissertation on homosexual basketball female players and unfortunately only one male player. I was interested in their life experiences related to different sexual identity in both of their worlds, in basketball community and in closer family and friends relationships. With this research I wanted to find out if they comed out of the closet in basketball teams and also in private life, to whom they reveal first, what were their experiences, why they decided to speak out or why the didnt decide to come out, did they feel any type of stigmatisation due to homosexuality and what is their personal opinion about tolerance in sports today.
