Body positivity on display in LGBTQ+ inclusive rugby team’s fundraiser calendar
The Amsterdam Lowlanders’ 2020 calendar is not just 12 pictures of naked men, it’s proof, says the photographer: “there is no real ideal image.”

The Amsterdam Lowlanders, a Netherlands-based rugby team that touts its acceptance of LGBTQ+ teammates, is selling a nude calendar to raise money so its members can compete in an international rugby event next year.
We’ll explain why that 2020 competition is of special significance, but first, let’s look at why this team’s latest calendar is noteworthy.
While lots of groups sell naked calendars as fundraisers, and the Lowlanders have been publishing theirs since 2013— this entry is exceptional for its body diversity, and how that is presented. Alongside “idealized” Greek statues, nude rugby players of various colors and sizes posed with their bodies bearing smears of dust, as if connecting their modern forms to the ancient ones.
“There is no sport as inclusive as rugby. Large, small, muscular, thick, juicy, long, thin: it is a sport where there is literally room for everyone,” says Henri Verhoef, the calendar photographer who is also a team member. “In this calendar, we show that there is no real ideal image. The players are photographed as sculptures that show that there can be strength in vulnerability, and cohesion in diversity.”
The Lowlanders’ calendar is also inclusive of large-bodied athletes of color, a contrast to more mainstream nude sports images — including the ones in ESPN’s annual “Body Issue” — which predominantly feature slender or muscular white athletes, giving the public a limited idea of “what athletes look like.”
That image is changing as more trans, gender non-conforming, older athletes and athletes with disabilities enter the sports world, and more diverse athletes feel comfortable showing their bodies.
Such images may be of value beyond fundraising and inclusivity in sports, according to researchers. There is mounting evidence displays of body positivity may literally improve mental health and save lives. A 2019 study of 195 young women found that exposure to body positive images on social media improved their “positive mood, body satisfaction and body appreciation.”
This is important considering that half of LGBTQ youth have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, and one-third of LGBTQ adults have felt suicidal about their body image, compared to 11% of straight people.
The Bingham Cup is a three-day biennial “World Cup of gay rugby” founded in memory of Mark Bingham, the gay American rugby player who was among the 40 passengers and crew aboard United Airlines Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001. They were killed in the crash of that plane in Pennsylvania, apparently trying to thwart the terrorist hijackers.
The tournament in Ottawa, Canada has become a flagship event of the International Gay Rugby organization and now attracts 1,700 players from 60 different teams in Europe, North America and Oceania. In 2018, the Lowlanders hosted the event, and for the first time ever, organizers added a four-team women’s tournament, reflecting growing interest in the sport.
“At the time of Mark Bingham’s heroic death, only six gay and inclusive rugby clubs existed anywhere in the world,” the Bingham Cup website says. “Today, there are more than 70.”

Cover of Naked Rugby League 2007-2008 Calendar
Naked Rugby League is a black-and-white nude calendar featuring professional rugby league footballers of Australasia's National Rugby League competition.
Released in October 2006, the 2007-2008 14-month calendar spanning from January 2007 to February 2008 calendar was produced in the same erotic style of French rugby's annual Dieux du Stade calendars with the players being photographed nude separately in various locations, both indoors and outdoors. The photos were taken by the Australian celebrity photographer Pedro Virgil.
The calendar was released in general black-and-white edition and a limited edition in colour. But the calendar was not officially sanctioned by the National Rugby League.[1]
Proceeds from its sales were donated to benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation of Australia.[2]
Naked Rugby League was a follow up to League of Their Own 2006.

The calendar featured ten of the previous twelve League Of Their Own (2006) players Same pictures or similar photos were used for the 10 players. Only Brad Tighe and Ryan McGoldrick) from the League of Their Own were taken out to be replaced by three new players, three being Greg Bird, Brent Webb, Paul Whatuira and the fourth, an unknown unidentified mystery player who was photographed from behind.
The following players are featured:[3]
Immediately after publication of the calendar, the National Rugby League was quick to distance itself from the project. "We don't have an issue with the players having got their gear off, but what we want known is the NRL is not associated with the calendar," NRL chief operating officer Graham Annesley told Australia's Sydney Confidential.[4] Anneseley particularly criticized Nick Youngquest of the St. George Illawarra Dragons for his photograph (the calendar's June 2007 image)[5] saying that "Youngquest had taken the idea 'too far'. He may not have known that he was in that, ah, position, but it's just something we feel the publishers went too far with". About the charitable cause the calendar served, Anneseley responded: "We have a very close association with the National Breast Cancer Foundation... but the nature of the publication is not anything that we would have approved to be associated with the NRL."[6]
A National Breast Cancer Foundation spokeswoman said the organisation was not behind the actual production of the calendar, but confirmed it would benefit from its sale.
Youngquest responded that he knew what he was doing at the time but did it for a charitable cause with the proceeds going to breast cancer research. He commented: "The photographer [Pedro Virgil] rang and said the best photo he had was a bit revealing and asked me if I minded. I said I didn't mind. It's all for a good cause." This wasn't Youngquest's first nude calendar[7] and the player was regularly voted as top of the most attractive player polls. Youngquest continued: "It is for breast cancer, so if it affects my image, I would be pretty disappointed by it. I don't think anyone would be that shallow to let that happen. The photo is for a good cause, so, if it stirs any controversy, so be it."
The Australian celebrity photographer Pedro Virgil who had taken the photos of the players defended his work saying about the calendar: "It is provocative in the sense that the guys are naked... but in this case it is tasteful".
