Thank you + Football v Homophobia website
Posted: Wed Mar 27, 2024 10:19 pm
Here is the link to the football v homophobia website, if you would like to see how what is being down to tackle the issues of homophobia and transphobia in football and the things that you can do to help.
If you would like to be part of a committe, or know anyone who would like to be involved in Hitchin Town LGBTQ+supporters club please contact me

This is a really interesting link, where people from the LGBTQ+ community, talk about coming out in football.
I've been to hundreds of games over the years, Chelmsford City, Ipswich, Notts County and Arsenal.
But until recently never as a trans woman. As you might understand it was a huge step for me- even in this day and age.
But I had a really good experience, and was buzzing afterwards and I am looking forward to a home (win) on April 13th.
So a big thank you, to everyone at the club.
I have also started up a Hitchin Town LGBTQ+ supporters club, with the intention of encouraging people to come along, and showing them that football is for everyone.
I also plan to contact the opposing clubs, to see if they have an LGBTQ+ supporters club, with the aim of meeting up for a drink before the game.
I wrote an article about my positive experience at Top Field, and sent it several organisations and had a reply from " Kick it out", who are going to share it on their social media platforms, website and other media outlets.
I never ever thought that I would go to football as Katie, it's something that I used to dream about
I've even bought a scarf, so I suppose there's no going back now.
Thank you
