<p>After homophobic comments were left under an official Olympics Instagram post featuring Harrison kissing his boyfriend Justin, he spoke out publicly in defence of queer athletes and representation: [1]</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We often tell ourselves that society as a whole is becoming more progressive, or that things are “getting better”…</p>
<p>But the reality is there’s a reason why you see so few out, queer athletes in sport…. And that’s because we’re still not safe here… yet.</p>
<p>Pride matters. Representation matters.</p>
<p>It’s homophobes and bigots that should feel unwelcome in sport. Not me. Not Justin. Not queer people just trying to live our lives without having to lie about and hide who we are.</p>

<p>Campbell Harrison is an Australian competition climber who became the first openly gay climber to compete in Olympic climbing at Paris 2024, a major milestone for LGBTQ+ visibility in the sport.</p>
<p>After homophobic comments were left under an official Olympics Instagram post featuring Harrison kissing his boyfriend Justin, he spoke out publicly in defence of queer athletes and representation: [1]</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We often tell ourselves that society as a whole is becoming more progressive, or that things are “getting better”…</p>
<p>But the reality is there’s a reason why you see so few out, queer athletes in sport…. And that’s because we’re still not safe here… yet.</p>
<p>Pride matters. Representation matters.</p>
<p>It’s homophobes and bigots that should feel unwelcome in sport. Not me. Not Justin. Not queer people just trying to live our lives without having to lie about and hide who we are.</p>

<p>Campbell Harrison is an Australian competition climber who became the first openly gay climber to compete in Olympic climbing at Paris 2024, a major milestone for LGBTQ+ visibility in the sport.</p>
<p>After homophobic comments were left under an official Olympics Instagram post featuring Harrison kissing his boyfriend Justin, he spoke out publicly in defence of queer athletes and representation: [1]</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We often tell ourselves that society as a whole is becoming more progressive, or that things are “getting better”…</p>
<p>But the reality is there’s a reason why you see so few out, queer athletes in sport…. And that’s because we’re still not safe here… yet.</p>
<p>Pride matters. Representation matters.</p>
<p>It’s homophobes and bigots that should feel unwelcome in sport. Not me. Not Justin. Not queer people just trying to live our lives without having to lie about and hide who we are.</p>

Campbell Harrison is an Australian competition climber who became the first openly gay climber to compete in Olympic climbing at Paris 2024, a major milestone for LGBTQ+ visibility in the sport.
After homophobic comments were left under an official Olympics Instagram post featuring Harrison kissing his boyfriend Justin, he spoke out publicly in defence of queer athletes and representation:
> We often tell ourselves that society as a whole is becoming more progressive, or that things are “getting better”…
>
> But the reality is there’s a reason why you see so few out, queer athletes in sport…. And that’s because we’re still not safe here… yet.
>
> Pride matters. Representation matters.
>
> It’s homophobes and bigots that should feel unwelcome in sport. Not me. Not Justin. Not queer people just trying to live our lives without having to lie about and hide who we are.
