Football is not homophobic, particularly grassroots football. The clubs just need the tools to be a more welcoming place and they need leadership from the top of the game as well. I welcome more involvement in grassroots football and involvement in the Pride parades around the country or Dublin Pride. I commend some of the League of Ireland grounds. I have seen homophobia called out on the terraces by stewards. We hear about homophobia over the tannoy systems now, or I certainly hear it in Inchicore.
