On August 30th 2015, the University Blacks, a football team in Australia changed their strip for one with rainbow colours to show support for the "gay, that's ok" campaign. The team also painted their 50m line with rainbows.
The team were inspired by former team member Lachlan Beaton, who hid his sexuality for years before coming out to this team.
Other football teams in Australia are now planning to show support in future games.
- What looks different about the football team shirts?
- What can rainbow colours be used to show support for?
-Why do the football team want to show support for gay people? Are all the footballers in the photo gay?
Tell the children about Lachlan Beaton
-Why do you think Lachlan didn't tell his team mates he was gay?
-How do you think Lachlan feels about his team wearing the rainbow colours?
- What do the rainbow colours tell us about this football team?
