Flag in ESL on Saturday

[Willy Dangle]

Did anyone notice the rainbow flag in the east stand lower on Saturday? It was during fan-zone just before kick-off. :safeway:

As Brighton supporters we all know what it's supposed to signify, but I'm really unsure of the relevance of waving it around before the match.....?

It's always there and your point is?

My point is, what is the point? I cannot see what relevance it has to BHAFC.

Absolutely none. Now if they put a seagull on it you could sort of understand it being some kind of gay seagulls fan club flag.

 

[Hamilton]

There is a seagull on it, but it is invisible.

Isn't it good to see the fans throwing their weight behind an initiative that the club has signed up to? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-17046490

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realise you had to wave rainbow flags around at the AMEX to tackle homophobia...

 

[severnside gull]

That's pretty outrageous!

That is quite possibly apocryphal

Not sure what the point of the limp hand and rainbow flag animation of yours is. Is that how all gay people are?

Can't do any harm.

 

[Taybha]

Least it was the right way up unlike that confederate one in the southstand

It's also the flag of the Peruvian city of Cuzco. I thought the city was a Latin version of Brighton for a while but now it just makes me think of the thousands of Inca's that were killed by the Spanish conquistadors.

Well you can thank me later for dragging you into the 20th Century. We'll work on the 21st Century once you've worked out what transphobia is.

 

[Eksman]

Fag flag

Incidentally, I know that there is some sort of a history to Albion fans with confederate flags (presumably the whole "South" thing), but in reference to the original point, I'd sooner have a rainbow flag than a confederate flag in our ground any day.

I'd rather we just had Brighton flags or relevant ie Spanish, Argentinian, home made player banners etc.... 2 old hags with a rainbow flag is not relevant.,,.....and personally i think its just a "look at me " gesture from the old hags..

Fear of crossing the road?

A good number of other clubs support the anti-homophobia initiative - yet none of their fans wave the rainbow flags. Pretty much all clubs have LGBT fans too - yet none of their clubs have fans that wave the rainbow flags.

It simply isnt needed and is borderline tinpot im afraid.
