What do you see in the photo? Do you recognise the language? Can you translate? What are the other clues on the shirt?

February was "Football v homophobia" month.
The picture shows a Welsh T shirt. The Football Association of Wales (FAW) supports Football v Homophobia.

What is homophobia?
What do you think Football versus homophobia is about?

Football v Homophobia works to "Make existing football structures safe, welcoming and inclusive" for LGBT+ people. 

What does this mean?
Do you think football is a welcoming, safe and inclusive place?
Can you name any male gay premier league football players in 2025?
Jake Daniels (Blackpool) is the only premier league footballer currently to speak out and say he is gay. Do you think he is the only one? What's going on here?

February is Football v Homophobia month and last week in Glasgow at an awards ceremony Leeds United won an award for their inclusive work.
Southampton goalie Aaron Ramsdale won an award for allyship.

What do you think allyship is?

Aaron has a gay brother and is very proud of him. Aaron often wears rainbow laces and arm bands to show support for the LGBT+ community. You can see Aaron speak in a video here https://onefootball.com/en/news/aaron-ramsdale-speaks-about-lgbtq-allyship-in-brilliant-video-40372298

Aaron says; "It would be amazing if we could get to a pace where everyone could just relax and be their own self."

What does he mean by that?

"It's important for me to speak up. I think it just came to a point where if I felt something was said that I didn't agree with, rather than just sitting back I wanted to be more like him and have the bravery to say something."

Why is it brave to say something?

"Having a brother who has come out as gay doesn't mean I'm the only one who has to speak out."

What do you think Aaron is asking for here?

Do you think we need Football v homophobia? You could argue football has nothing to do with LGBT... what do you think? What are the different arguments here?

What do we say at our school about LGBT+ people and different families?
Which British law is this about?
Why is this about No Outsiders?
Which British value is this about?
