On and off the pitch, football is a brilliant place for LGBTQ+ professionals
Taking a united approach, we are a network group that is helping to create an environment in which football is an industry of choice for, and is representative of, the LGBTQ+ community.
Do you work in the game, in a pro or semi-pro role?
