About Gay Polo League
The Gay Polo League (GPL) is the only LGBTQ-identified polo league in the world. Since its founding in 2006, GPL has built an international network of LGBTQ polo players and enthusiasts in 13 countries. The league embraces a cross-section of ages, abilities, professions, and riding experience. Through its enthusiasm for the sport, the league works to foster positive perceptions about gay athletes and the LGBTQ community. The focus is to provide the LGBTQ community with opportunities to learn how to play polo and successfully compete in GPL tournaments and events. In 2017, GPL became a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. This designation enables the Gay Polo League to use its events to benefit others and raise much-needed funds for programs aimed at helping those within the LGBTQ community.
