Likewise, The Jt Fashanu All-stars football special event started Brighton to honor him and promote homosexualy football. Therefore, a suable environment should be created through tn as a drivg factor, so gay footballers don’t feel prsured to reveal their sexualy. Last month, preparatn for an article about the growg gay backlash agast trans iology, I spoke wh Bev Jackson, the -founr of LGB Alliance, a gay and lbian activist group that oppos the hijackg of the gay rights movement by transfolk.
