Kick-off for more acceptance:
Ten years “Football for diversity – an initiative against homophobia” | 2013-2023
Sexual diversity as well as the open and latent discrimination in football are under discussion. Acceptance vis-à-vis LSBTIQ* in sport has arrived in the consciousness of civil society and politics. Clubs and associations are taking a stand with stadiums symbolically illuminated in rainbow colours: LSBTIQ* has become (more) visible in football. The educational and research initiative “Football for diversity – football against homophobia” of the Bundesstiftung Magnus Hirschfeld set a great deal in motion for this between 2013 and 2023.
You can get an insight into the ten-year work of the initiative on this webpage.
