"I set up the Justin Fashanu Foundation to provide a safe space for current and future players to know that support exists, in the hope that Justin’s experiences, which he described as inflicting “heavy damage’’ to his career, are never repeated." - @AmalFashanu for @IndyVoices

But Fashanu’s posthumous legacy has included his niece Amal Fashanu launching the @TJFFOUNDATION in his honour, which seeks to eliminate prejudice and tackle homophobia in sport and he was named 99th on a list of 500 LGBT heroes by the Pink Paper.

Shocking remarks from both players.

This year’s World Cup is hosted in a country where being #LGBTQ is illegal with horrendous punishments.

It’s no joke.

🗣 “You’re now bringing #LGBT fans to a bubble that is trained to gay-bash and has not seen LGBT visibility before and would perceive it as an attack” - @Dr_NassMohamed, #LoveIsNotACrime @AllOut 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

If your Twitter account did get hacked @IkerCasillas which could happen to any of us... please could you take a screen shot of the email you must of recieved confirming the notice of activity change of your twitter account. Perhaps you can share with us all? @SkySportsNews @rtve

We were initially elated to hear @IkerCasillas Twitter announcement yesterday but that quickly turned into confusion when it was declared to be a joke or his Twitter account was hacked. Either way the general responses have been incredibly disappointing....

[The Justin Fashanu Foundation @TJFFOUNDATION]

Our Founder @AmalFashanu has just gone live @rtenews @rtve to discuss @IkerCasillas and his alleged Twitter account being hacked.....What do you guys think.....@JoshuaCavallo

[The Justin Fashanu Foundation @TJFFOUNDATION]

It seems incredible that in 2022 we are still having these discussions. People are still not brave enough to live their lives in football authentically....and there goes @IkerCasillas @Carles5puyol making a Joke of it all?

This week, the Culture Secretary urged sports NGBs to ban trans women from competition

We believe this:
- Goes against the principles of the new IOC Framework
- Is not based on scientific consensus
- Further marginalises trans people in sport & wider society

We say #NoTransBan
