"While the majority of people see homophobic chants and abuse as a problem, and want to see sport become more welcoming of lesbian gay, bi and trans players and fans, there is a persistent minority who believe this sort of abuse is acceptable," Ruth Hunt, Stonewall's chief executive, said.
"These vocal few may be under the illusion that anti-LGBT language is harmless but it makes lesbian, gay, bi and trans fans and players feel unsafe, unwelcome and unable to be themselves."
"We need high-profile sports clubs and personalities to stand up as allies and help make sport everyone's game by showing that homophobic abuse has no place in sport."
The research also showed some encouraging trends.
The majority of football fans (88 percent) said they would be either "proud" or "neutral" if their favourite player came out as gay. Most people also thought that offensive language directed at LGBTQ people in sport is a problem.
