LQTBQ+ Day

I know this will get the usual ‘why have a special day for them’ comments and ‘who cares’ but having only yesterday been called ‘a fag’, there’s still work needs to be done.

There are some very emotionally unintelligent people around that’s for sure 😡

That kind of pathetic jibe is just the reason days like these are so important. I hope all Pool fans support it.
 
If anywhere needs some effort put in to make these groups feel accepted it's probably football clubs, can't be easy the things you would have heard over the years and I imagine you'd feel as though addressing it was impossible, like talking to a brick wall, but a particularly homophobic one.
 
As the O/P says there hopefully will be a time to come where events like this are no longer necessary.
In the meantime, let’s support such initiatives- no one should ever feel marginalised or not accepted (barring Nobbers of course….)

Mr B are you the only tangerine gay in your village? We must be told.
 
This is getting daft now.

We have to put up with the knee due to some comments to some footballers on Twitter, why not penalise Twitter users instead of football fans?

When was the last time you heard a racist or homophobic shout at Blackpool? There was supposedly one last season at home to Coventry but that one went all quiet, probably because there someone misheard.

It's name calling, get over it.

The other day I heard someone shout "Oi fatty" to someone in the street, which Blackpool game will be played to make awareness of lard arses?
Neither insults are acceptable.
 
Is that wrong?
Of course not. One day those kind of views will be left behind. It just takes some people longer than others. One day they will hopefully accept it, or maybe just be left behind by the rest of society. We're about to hold a world cup in a country where you can be imprisoned for being openly gay. That says a lot.
 
It's becoming difficult to tell black from white.
The first part of your post offers hope. The second part slams it shut. It's bizarre.
