The link (in pride of place, if you will) leads to their culture site where they share educational content such as a queer glossary and links to other resources and organisations:

EDUCATION IS CELEBRATION

Sports are more than just a game and in their nature bring people together over a common good. We want to foster an environment that respects all individuals of diverse sexual and gender identities to create a safe space for individuals to be their authentic selves.
