Hosted by Ali Clarke, and taking place on Friday 22 August 2025 from 2-5pm at the stunning and iconic Bonython Hall at The University of Adelaide, this event is designed to unite athletes, advocates, and allies in support of LGBTQIA+ representation within the sporting community.

Play With Pride offers attendees the opportunity to partake in delicious food, enjoy outstanding entertainment, listen to thought-provoking discussions, and engage in valuable networking opportunities with similarly inclusive sporting industry personalities and professionals.

It's a vibrant celebration of diversity, inclusion, and the positive impact of sports.

Isaac Humphries is an Australian-born professional basketballer and musician, currently playing for the Adelaide 36ers in the National Basketball League (NBL). 

On November 16, 2022, Isaac made history by coming out as gay, becoming the first openly gay male professional basketball player in NBL history, the first Australian male professional basketballer to come out while actively playing, and the first openly gay player in this category to represent his country. He remains the only active, openly gay male professional basketball player in the world.

Beyond the court, Isaac is a passionate musician and singer. He has showcased his talent through two consecutive sold-out seasons at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, where he also served as an official ambassador and received awards recognising the success of his performances.

Isaac is also a dedicated advocate for mental health. As a National Ambassador for R U OK? Day, he continues to use his platform to inspire positive change, combining his influence in sport, music, and advocacy to champion authenticity, resilience, and inclusion.
