Kick It Out tackles homophobia in new film

Kick It Out pulled back the curtain today on with the release of a film that aims to rid football of homophobic, biphobic and transphobic (HBT) discrimination in stadiums.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is hosting a roundtable meeting today in an attempt to tackle homophobia in sport and the intentions of Kick It Out’s Call Full Time on Hate initiative is to encourage inclusion and purge hate from the game.

The films contain personal stories from the LGBT community on discrimination in football and Kick It Out chief executive Roisin Wood believes that these resources will not only continue to raise awareness but will hopefully help people have the “confidence in effectively challenging such discrimination.
