With the Tokyo Games postponed until 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic it’ll be another year until we’ll see queer skateboarders on the world’s largest sporting stage, but until then you can follow Annie Guglia on Instagram on her quest for Olympic gold. “I want to be that person for the next generation. “Looking back on it now, I know that I could have persisted and created my own opportunities at 17 but unfortunately, I was too young and didn’t have any female role models in my sport to demonstrate that this was possible.
I chose to take advantage of this new opportunity and I’ve been able to live off of skateboarding for two years now. “It’s only now, at 26 with the inclusion of skateboarding in the Tokyo Olympics that my dream of realizing this goal has become possible again in my mind and that’s why I’m here today. While skateboarding culture is largely been represented as homogeneously straight and male, Guglia points not only to the growing diversity within the sport but how women and LGBTQ skateboarders have always been there, even if they haven’t always gotten the same opportunities to make a living skateboarding professionally.
✊ ✊ ✊ ✊ ✊ ❤️ #stonewallriots #marshapjohnson #pridemonthĪ post shared by Annie Guglia on at 1:56pm PDT Pride wasn’t cancelled this year, it’s the most authentic it’s been in a long time. I can be myself in 2020 ONLY because of all the queens who fought for their rights 51 years ago and didn’t take no for an answer. Thanks to all the LGBTQ+ leaders who paved the way for us. Pride wasn’t a rainbow on June 28th 1969, it was a riot. Pride Month is almost over, and I just wanna say that we owe it in big parts to black trans women. It’s a weird thing to say about oneself but overall, I try to make myself visible whenever possible and use the platforms offered to me to show that this is just normal.” I see my role in this community as being a positive role model. “I am openly lesbian and I 100% support all initiatives aiming for equality for all. While Guglia said she doesn’t consider herself an “activist,” she is nonetheless ready to use her visibility and presence in the sport to inspire people and bring more acceptance. “The skateboard community has become so much freer and more inclusive and I’ve grown more and more proud of it.” It’s really nice to see,” said Guglia, speaking to Camille Laventure for Team Canada.
“We’ve seen this huge growth in women in the sport, as well as queer people, trans people, gay people people of all backgrounds, religions, ages, styles, social classes, abilities, and skill levels. For street skating champion Annie Guglia, the Olympic platform will boost more than just visibility of the sport itself, but also the women and LGBTQ+ athletes that make up the skateboarding community. The upcoming Tokyo Olympics are set to feature a host of sports for the first time, including surfing, sport climbing and skateboarding.
