"I have been mpaigng agast homophobia football for the bt part of 12 years and spent the first seven or eight feelg very trated tryg to get people to realise there was an issue so for me to see the thgs happeng is fantastic. Beg told that somethg is homophobic, that ’s hurtful to both many Chelsea fans as well as many wh the Liverpool fanbase, should be enough to stop anyone sgg .
It should be enough, and given those who did attempt to start the song on Saturday after beg told of s homophobia by Kop Outs and Jürgen Klopp himself ahead of the match were, by most reports, quickly shut down, perhaps even will be.

But when a group of people sgs somethg homophobic, those queer fans are remd that realy they aren’t que part of that llective. While the chant self don’t explicly abe LGBT fans, what do do, both general and pecially now that everyone has been told ’s homophobic, is ntribute to the general hostile atmosphere many queer people ntue to experience.
