If you went to away games you would realise every club is doing this, when we went to Anfield they had a massive banner that went across one stand and flags as well. Also at the Emirates they had massive flags, we would be a laughing stock if we didnt.

Top bombing, Das. Did you know that midget gems are made up of 80% liquidised midgets, 9% costume jewellery and 11% beef gelatin?

I don't give a flying one for the opinions of anybody who thinks that taking a stand and setting an example on inclusivity is 'embarrassing'. If our support is representative of our wider community, there could have been 4,000+ LGBTQ people in today's crowd. One of the people I love most in the world would have been one of them, but couldn't make it today, so I took the photos. To me it says 'Look, our club, doesn't care about the perceived small minded opinions of 'football', it cares about you.' This is about actual people. The club is on the right side of history. Well done to all involved.

Maybe we should have a different "good cause" at each game? "Stop smoking" cards to wave maybe for the next game, "support food banks" for the one after that, then a "be nice to travellers" theme (the ones with caravans that we used to be allowed to call pikeys) … that would be fun because we'd be instructed to leave the cards strewn all over the pitch at the end of the game … , the possibilities are endless ...
I am sure the homophobes and racists dont like it. Dont care.

If you think that a football club has nothing to do with the community it represents, I have to ask if you have slept through the last couple of decades of our club's history?
Looked quality on the TV
Whilst a different topic yesterdays incident in Manchester show why the rainbow laces/kick out days are still important to show the mass majority of football going fans are supportive.

But we went to watch a FOOTBALL MATCH. We don't want a visual sermon pre kick-off.

Or maybe some people who aren't racist/homophobic think it doesnt need to be flaunted at a sports event, what do you reckon ?

The vast majority are happy to support it and show we are the majority. If you dont like it then you dont have to go to the game...oh

Presumably you feel the same way about the pre-match Remembrance Day pitch wreath laying stuff, which, by your judgement, is also nothing whatsoever to do with football.

People who say 'Keep politics out of sport' generally mean 'Keep politics, that I don't agree with, out of sport'.

I thought it looked pretty good at the match today.
However, getting back and seeing how it upset and embarrassed the various Homophobes, Racists, Snowflakes, Gammons and general assorted morons on here, I have now decided it was positively MAGNIFICENT

A bit like those people moaning about the Brexit Party leafleting at Falmer station last match-day keeping oddly quiet today when it was Labour and Extinction Rebellion.
