Is positive discrimination necessary?

Yep , homophobia belongs in the dark ages

I haven't seen any homophobia or any discrimination for that matters on here at all
it almost feels like the media are trying to pressure people to "come out"
I think they are bang out of order myself
what goes on between 2 consenting adults is between 2 consenting adults
its not for front page sensationalism
Yawn Yawn Yawn
The media are so desperate for the first gay premier league footballer it’s probably stopping any gay footballers actually coming out.
We could learn a lot from rugby in this respect , football fans can be small minded idiots
I don't think we can learn anything from rugby fans.
I suspect that the majority of football / sports fans in the UK, including myself, have absolutely no homophobic intolerance.
Those (in the media) that thought rainbow corner flags, captains armbands, advertising hoardings, lapel badges, 4th official time boards would somehow have an impact on any person (whatever persuasion) is mystifying.
Perhaps there should be a reciprocal arrangement to make non-LGBT fans welcome next weekend
Trying to get my head round "no homophobic intolerance".
Lacist. Reported.
This is one of the things I can't understand people being outraged about?
How do the rainbow laces affect you in anyway? Do they ruin watching football for you? It's just a show of solidarity from the sport it doesn't negatively affect anyone.
No effect on me at all.
An awful amount of money wasted in my opinion - which could have been used more wisely.
So can golf fans, tennis fans, water polo fans, ufc fans..
Perhaps I should have said the the majority of fans accept the rights of everyone regardless of race, creed or sexual preference.
Was there really a need for Rainbow Laces day?
I don't think anyone goes to a football match in this country to make others aware of their preferences.
'Gays' attend matches to watch the football.
'Straights' attend matches to watch the football.
Ethnic minorities attend matches to watch the football.
Religiously minded folk attend matches to watch the football (arguable in areas where there is religious intolerance)
i think Sludge is becomming a lover of the egg. there has been a few pro rugby quotes on here recently
What a load of Rubbish.
Once again, The LGBTTMFI++ are ramming it down our throats.
While certain sections of society praise them for it.
Homophobia is rife in football and racism may not be as bad as it was in the seventies , but it's still around
Football should be a welcoming place for everyone , the pathetic chants against Brighton fans are cringeworthy
Not evident down in section 113 of the Ninian Stand at the CCS.
Perhaps its rife elsewhere in the stadium.
If we drew Brighton in the cup the does your boyfriend know you are here chants would be coming from all parts of the ground
And if a player came out as gay football fans from every club would be giving him abuse
Anyone who thinks otherwise is talking nonsense
Do you really think that offends any Brighton Fan?.
Why are you so angry about this? What harm does it do? Are you homophobic?
Why Can we not let people get on with the life they choose?.
Well I am not gay and I don't want to hear that sort of childish crap when we should be singing songs to get behind the team
I am not black either but do I have to be black to be offended by racism ?
It's my club and I want everyone to feel welcome , whatever their background and whatever they do in their private life
Anyone who moans about these sort of initiatives is either hiding in the closet or is very small minded , it's a drop in the ocean money wise compared to share going around in football
The kick racism out of football is also a very good campaign
I agree with that, the first player to come out is going to be under so much media scrutiny it has to be a stumbling block to coming out.
Unless it opens the floodgates and 3 or 4 follow swiftly on it's a big risk to the player.
Homophobic or protesting a bit too much
I don’t know what you mean
