BE TRUE
The 2022 Be True Collection is a celebration of love through identity, expression, and sport.
LGBTQIA+ athletes* are redefining what sport means for the future and uniting people under a common goal - love of every athlete*, gender expression, and orientation.

“When you play sports, everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, as human beings, we all have our differences. In that sense, I feel that talking about gender and sexuality can be a chance to break the norm.”
Shiho Shimoyamada

For Japanese soccer player Shiho Shimoyamada, she sees sport as a means to level the playing field. Regardless of gender, identity, or orientation, everyone should have a place to play.
Gia Parr, She/Her
“I want trans people to be seen for all that they are, beyond just being trans. There is so much more to us.”
Gia Parr

Backed by her positive peers and field hockey teammates, the student, model, and advocate knows just how important it is to have a supportive team that sees her whole self.
