Football: Gay Banter

“Town full of faggots” • “We can see you holding hands” • Player rubs his hands up and down several times over his backside whilst standing in front of, but with his back to, Brighton fans. • Home fans used many derogative words. So bad that BBC Sussex radio had to turn off a microphone and apologise several times on air for the language being used around them. • “You’re just a town full of buggerers” • “We always shag girls” • “Palace 5, Brighton 0, Brighton take it up the bum” • Several individual incidents reported after the game. A father and son pair of Brighton fans were walking away from the ground and the father was asked “Do you pass him round?” • “Does your boyfriend know you're here?" • “Go home you qayers” • “Up your arse m’lord, up your arse” • “Soft Southern poofters” • Two fans attacked outside the ground • “Up your arse, up your arse, if you’re not a fucking wanker you’re a qayer” • “What’s it like to suck a cock?” • “We drink cider, you suck cock” • “The referee’s a gay boy” • "Gay and you know you are" • “Does your boyfriend know you’re here?” • “You only sing when you’re bumming” • And shouts of ‘faggots’, ‘gay’ and ‘nonce’ with limp-wristed gestures

Homophobic abuse at Brighton & Hove Albion matches recorded by the Gay Football Supporters' Network last season. 
Today the GFSN are sending a report to the Football Association, the Football League and the Football Supporters’ Federation.

Update: Front page of today's Argus; 'Albion Fans Fury At Anti-Gay Abuse'.
