The launch of a short video advert aimed at tackling homophobia in football have been cancelled by the Football Association.
Sue Law, FA’s Head of Equality and Child Protection, has said that the Association have chosen to postpone the event in order to strengthen their anti-homophobia strategy by working more closely with their Tackling Homophobia Advisory Group and testing the film more widely.
The Justin Campaign are saddened at the FA’s announcement of postponing the launch of their new video aimed at tackling homophobia in football. However after having the opportunity to read John Amaechi’s take on the content of the video; think that the FA have been wise in their decision to seek further consultation on the videos production and subsequent release.







Stonewall held the premiere of FIT at the Soho Curzon in London. FIT is a film being sent to every school to tackle homophobic bullying, it is the first of its kind.
The Justin Campaign, a campaign launched in memory of Justin Fashanu, the world’s first and only out gay professional football player; is to launch an international day opposing homophobia in football – Football vs Homophobia on February 19th 2010.
Stonewall has publishes its Top 100 Employers 2010, showcasing Britain's best employers for gay staff.
The Justin Campaign has commended Gareth Thomas after taking the risk and making his sexuality public knowledge.
