The Scottish Professional Football League stands alongside Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign to promote equality and diversity.
As Rainbow Laces enters its second decade, the SPFL and Clubs will again showcase their backing throughout this weekend (8-10 December).
Neil Doncaster, SPFL Group Chief Executive, said: “We’re proud to continue Scottish football’s longstanding association with Rainbow Laces
“Whether playing on the pitch or watching as a fan, our clubs’ ongoing commitment to Rainbow Laces underlines that football is a game for everyone.”
In the 10 years of Rainbow Laces, more than one million people have laced up but this must-win game isn’t over yet.
Thanks to your support:
● 74% now consider LGBTQ+ people part of the sport community
● 68% feel a responsibility to stick up for LGBTQ+ fans of the teams and sports they follow
● 49% believe they are more likely to challenge anti-LGBTQ+ language at live sport fixtures
● And 71% think leading sports organisations are taking their responsibility to support LGBTQ+ fans and players more seriously than they were a year ago
Large parts of the LGBTQ+ community still can’t be their true selves whilst attending or participating in sporting events.
We all have a duty to make LGBTQ+ people feel welcome in sport. Keep up raising awareness. Keep up supporting each other. Keep up pushing to make sure sport is for everyone.
Lace up to keep it up.
