"I set up the Justin Fashanu Foundation to provide a safe space for current and future players to know that support exists, in the hope that Justin’s experiences, which he described as inflicting “heavy damage’’ to his career, are never repeated." - @AmalFashanu for @IndyVoices

But Fashanu’s posthumous legacy has included his niece Amal Fashanu launching the @TJFFOUNDATION in his honour, which seeks to eliminate prejudice and tackle homophobia in sport and he was named 99th on a list of 500 LGBT heroes by the Pink Paper.

Shocking remarks from both players. This year’s World Cup is hosted in a country where being #LGBTQ is illegal with horrendous punishments. It’s no joke.
@IkerCasillas and @Carles5puyol joking and making fun out of coming out in football is disappointing. It’s a difficult journey that any LGBTQ+ ppl have to go through. To see my role models and legends of the game make fun out of coming out and my community is beyond disrespectful

We were initially elated to hear @IkerCasillas Twitter announcement yesterday but that quickly turned into confusion when it was declared to be a joke or his Twitter account was hacked. Either way the general responses have been incredibly disappointing....

This week, the Culture Secretary urged sports NGBs to ban trans women from competition We believe this: - Goes against the principles of the new IOC Framework - Is not based on scientific consensus - Further marginalises trans people in sport & wider society We say #NoTransBan

Come on @LutonTown that chant is now a Hate crime. Call it out. @CPSUK @ChelseaFC #RetireTheChant @kickitout @prideinfootball @FvHtweets @EmiratesFACup
