The Justin campaign today launched an initiative, Football v Homophobia, to raise awareness of homophobia in amateur and professional football; to unite clubs, players and fans internationally by using the game of football to bring communities together in opposing hate and intolerance in the world’s favourite sport.

The launch coincides with LGBT (Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered) History Month, a full month of activity celebrating the lives and achievements of the LGBT community.

After listening to its partners and supporters, The Justin Campaign believes that to tackle homophobia in football effectively a collective show of opposition needs to be made by all involved to get a message of zero tolerance across.

FA Chairman, Lord Triesman, commented: “We remain committed to challenging all forms of discrimination in football and making the game family friendly. The FA has good links with organisations like the Gay Football Supporters Network and we're delighted that the recent Stonewall report supports our one shared objective of football for all."
