Homaphobic abuse

Fair enough article but those interviewed making out how offensive it is. All a bit wet and the fact we are handing in a report just makes us an easier target as the report wont do anything at all.
All the lads I go to football are not offended by it at all. Would rather not have to hear it all the time but most is accepted as tongue in cheek.
Fair enough the F.A should act on this issue but reports from us and bobble hats on the supporters coach saying how upsetting it is will make us a laughing stock

Yes it is wrong, and should not happen, but I have to agree, the sensitive little bobble hatters did make us look a bit soft and soppy.

Come on!
Why pick on the supporters club coach?
Because apparently, they were seen holding hands

You expect unbiased reporting from the BBC? Its in lockstep with the guardian.

Last year after the Forest game i think I remember there were people on here complaining about the abuse from the Forest fans in the tier above. I couldn't make it this year, was it worse this year?
It was the usual stuff. Personally I don't think that the 'we can see you holding hands', and 'does your boyfriend know you're here' comments are homophobic.
When Will Buckley scored in the 85th minute a section of our lot were singing "we just ****** you up the arse" to Forest, is that homophobic too?

Are those lads young people that are unsure or concerned about their sexuality?
Oh no, how terrible.
Seriously, most people don't understand the problem. It's not a problem specifically for Brighton fans - obviously most of us aren't offended. It's a problem for some gay people (particularly those that aren't sure about themselves or think there's a problem with being gay) and also the general education of people (ie, letting fans in general understand what's right and wrong) - and those people are as likely to be fans from the opposing team as they are to be Brighton fans. For example, if you're a 15 year old Forrest fan that thinks they could be gay, and all your mates are taking the piss out of Brighton for being gay, that's not going to make you feel good is it.

perhaps because they are the ones compiling a dossier but also because they are possibly representative of football now being a whole family activity so the views of "the lads" are no longer sufficiently representative of what is acceptable
