FA providing help with Homophobia at football

[Horsham Gull]

According to this it is Football vs Homophobia month, funny enough reading the material from the FA we are not used in the case studies

The Football Association has stepped up efforts to fight homophobia in football by providing clubs with atoolkit.
The resource has been sent to the 92 clubs of the Premier League and Football League and other teams as part of the Football v Homophobia campaign.
The 43-page document carries advice on how to create good relations with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
West Ham have supported the campaign ahead of the match against Tottenham

Is football combating homophobia?
The players wore Football v Homophobia T-shirts in the lead-up to Monday's encounter at Upton Park.
Hammers captain Kevin Nolan said: "It's important that we, as a club and as a squad, support the Football v Homophobia campaign.
"We're role models and we've got to ensure that we respect all members of society and show that we're open minded.
"If someone told me, or any of the lads, that they were gay, it wouldn't change our view of them one iota and that's the only way it can be, so it's a vital message to push."

I think the club should put some of those posters in the away end to discourage this behaviour towards our fans

What is unfortunate is the perverse understanding of what homophobia is, to the point it translates to a desire to protect red blooded males from assertions against their sexual origin.

Just posted a thread on this before seeing your comment here. Shows the challenge the FA faces.

The fact that they are even debating rights and wrongs of Homophobic language, shows that times are changing, albeit too slowly.

Fair play to andydyson on there though. The rest sounds very old school.
