Thank you to Jack Murley BBC Sport for having me on. Cream & then Jam is the only way 😜 #Devon 2017 was scary to be the first, but I am so happy that more people have opened up about their sexuality in #football 🏳️‍🌈⚽️ Where will the next 6 years take us…. #LGBTHM23 #LGBTQ

Rest in Peace Madam Speaker. #BettyBoothroyd was such a formidable person, who served with passion, while always knowing it was important to listen and give a voice to younger generations for the future and knowing it’s ok to change our minds. ❤️

This has to be one of the best insights into refereeing and I implore you read it! William Ralston this is truly superb. 👌 The impossible job: inside the world of Premier League referees theguardian.com/football/2023/…

Paul O’Grady was in the trenches fighting for our community during the HIV & AIDS epidemic, she took drag mainstream, she made our mums howl with laughter and normalised gay people on TV by being utterly vile. I can’t imagine a world without her. A truly brave and hilarious man x

He was someone who I admired as a personal icon, role model and as a fearless LGBTQ campaigner. I loved Paul O'Grady's wit, wisdom, and performing talents on stage, screen and on radio. We have lost a unique talent and amazing person. RIP 💔 #PaulOGrady

He's still the only out gay man regularly involved in matchday action in senior English pro football - and ref Ryan Atkin continues to be proud to represent. As #RainbowLaces returns, the Stonewall Sport Champion explains why it matters. For Outsports outsports.com/2023/11/29/239…

A special initiative, needs a special team talk. ⚽🌈 For every goal scored with the Rainbow Ball across the EFL, PUMA Football will donate to an LGBTQ+ Fans for Diversity Fund - a joint project between The FSA and Kick It Out. #EFLTogether | #LGBTplusHM

How disappointing is it that Saudi Arabia has been awarded the FIFA World Cup? Openly gay referee Ryan Atkin shares his thoughts #KayBurley SS

Ryan Atkin (@ryantatkin) 's Twitter Profile Photo

FIFA has repeatedly stated its commitment to making football a game for everyone, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation. Awarding the World Cup 🇸🇦where LGBTQ+ individuals face flogging or the death penalty raises serious questions about the sincerity of those promises

Massive respect to David for his courage and authenticity in coming out as gay. Visibility like this is so important in football and beyond. Your bravery will inspire many. 🌈⚽ #Inclusion #PrideInFootball #LGBTQ
