Anyone who knows me will be amused to learn that I'm sitting here in a plenary session at Football Pride.
But for the last three years I have been in a dialogue with Chesterfield Football Club (CFC) about lgbtq+ equality. As a councillor and as an lgbtq+ campaigner
I feel that football has a reputation as a home for homophobia - and I was keen that CFC were active in calling out that perception.
So today, at Football Pride, I’m not alone from Chesterfield - there are three of us here - myself and the tow fans who are the drivers of establishing Rainbow Spireites…
It’s great progress, and I’m proud of being a tiny part of this side of equality activism.
