The implication is that those who do not support this campaign are against gays. Quite a few have suggested this on this very thread.

When players are pelted with butt plugs and told to get out of a club for being gay, then you can compare it to racism in football. As yet, no one has actually come out so we can only speculate on the reaction of supporters and clubs. My suspicion is that there would be a very small number of chants at first from a tiny minority and then they would cease.

The downside is that it is an utter waste of time and money, promotes the idea that doing something, even something ridiculous and pointless is better than doing nothing to combat a problem that many people believe doesn't exist and perpetuates the stereotype that football fans are homophobic, racist anti-semites.

I just laughed out loud at an image of two blokes going at it in the toilet whilst a little kid is hunched in the opposite cubicle crying.

A couple of years ago I used to go to the odd game with my mate Edwin who is a gay. One time we scored and I punched him in the side of the head whilst celebrating. He hasn't been with me since so not sure if that was a hate crime or not or whether he was put off by the homophobic chanting. I'll have to ask him.

Are you a gay Toon Saint?

I think there is little doubt that this will be a watershed moment in the fight against the plague of homophobia in football. When the first gay premiership footballer holds his press conference for the world's media next year and they ask him what prompted his announcement he will answer 'the laces.'

What racist chanting have you heard at the football lately? I think the point is that many don't consider does your boyfriend know you're here prejudiced chanting.

I don't see any blood in any of the photos so far. Lets be honest it was most likely an actor pretending to shoot people.

It will be interesting when Wanyama gets a ban how we play if cork comes back.

It's not even abuse against the gays as a group. It's the same as when the hammers sang Southampton's a sh1thole I wanna go home.

If glasses were gay it wouldn't be that surprising if they were rose tinted.

My s4 has that. It's great.

One would hope they were professional enough to ignore comments on here.

Plus the string vests make it a bit too in your face for my liking.

Is this homophobic? https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC8QtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DoZn3XMGZMDk&ei=Yjs3UprAGIPFtQbX0YGgDw&usg=AFQjCNF4jUauaqWnu2ypgiCOSjeNbGDT6g&bvm=bv.52164340,d.Yms

Left luggage and melon farmers makes me lol.

He didn't say they weren't interested, he suggested they might not be good enough.

And me. That is where we will finish.

I see you didn't fall into my bear trap. Well played.

What traits do you think they would possess that would make it obvious?

How does this hostility manifest itself within football?

I don't want the gays to ram anything anywhere.

It's not really anyone's business apart from their own and maybe the bloke or blokes they are with.
