As part of its Pride Month series, Beyond Sport featured Rainbow Labs in an in-depth interview with co-founder Luis Vasquez. The article explores how the organization uses sport as a tool to empower Queer and Gender Nonconforming (QGNC) youth, foster community, and build leadership skills. From launching LGBTQ+ Sports Labs and softball teams to partnering with the Dodgers and local youth leagues, Rainbow Labs is creating affirming spaces where QGNC youth can show up as their full selves—on and off the field. Vasquez emphasized that inclusive spaces don’t require a secret formula—just intentional, affirming design built around belonging and fun.
