To change society, you need people power.

But the quest to change football to make it more inclusive for LGBTQ+ people currently lacks it.

Here's why we need to build a movement, and how @FootballPrideUK might be the moment to start it 👇

This #IDAHOBIT, a reminder that football is still not a safe place for LGBTQ+ people. There's still a long way to go, and confronting hate wherever it exists is vital.

"This more recent regression of LGBTQ+ rights is significant in how it has bled into MLS and supporters' culture. Some more liberal cities have had signs of protest at home games."

Queerness, football, and theatre don't often occupy the same space. But PITCH, a play by @NovTheatre, changes that.

It's a play about community and joy. The folks behind it, Nell and Ellie, explain what it meant to create it. Read it: https://t.co/0syyIhlesF

‘It was 10 seconds of stupidity’ - inside the education course for banned fans.

My time with Tony, a Sheff Utd fan who was put on a ⁦restorative justice course after shouting homophobic abuse.

With thanks to @kickitout for letting me see how it works. https://t.co/5Zi8Vnr8KL

Football (soccer) isn't America's biggest sport. Here's how that affects LGBTQ+ inclusion in the game.

@jack_murley Solidarity, Jack. It might be the price you pay, but it shouldn't be that way. Thank you for doing what you do. 💪

That's what is discussed in our latest email, landing in inboxes tomorrow.

[Jon Holmes @jonboy79]

One reason it’s still so challenging for gay athletes to come out publicly is the way algorithms and clickbait publishers distort and twist stories. Here, Google has now labelled the topic “plans for homophobia” (!) and one downmarket site has added a “couples in hiding” line. /1
