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'.

  1. Why not treated equally? They are all great players, kits are very popular at http://www.wysjg.com
