We know that ‘the gays‘ are getting everywhere but even we were very surprised there are even Gay Polo Teams these days. And an even bigger shock to find that their HQ is very close to our Winter base in Florida.
This horseback ball game, so beloved by the British Royal Family is in fact and one of the world’s oldest known team sports. The Gay Polo League (GPL), the only LGBTQ polo organization in the world, has a lighthearted enjoyment of our sport and community – yet are dead serious when it comes to competition and making a difference!
They tell us that they changing perceptions in the LGBTQ community, athletics, and society at large one chukker at a time.

GPL Polo Club promotes the sport of polo as a means to provide equality, pride, inclusion and confidence for those individuals who face discrimination simply due to identifying themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, gay or other non-traditional sexual or gender identities. GPL works to create an atmosphere that affirms and supports the understanding and acceptance of all individuals regardless of race, sex or sexual identity and works to promotes goodwill and camaraderie in the community
Want to know more? On Saturday, April 9th, 2022 there is the LEXUS INTERNATIONAL GAY POLO TOURNAMENT at The International Polo Club Palm Beach where 4 polo teams will compete for two GPL Perpetual Trophies: The Senator’s Cup & The Founder’s Cup.
One word of warning Polo is not a cheap sport to play to watch BUT the GPL does good work too and donated some $20K to Sage in 2020. Their ongoing goal is to raise money at their events to help LGBTQ organizations better serve our communities. Their battle cry is “the slightest difference makes all the difference”.
