Am saddened to see such a comment, but not much surprised. I was pleased to represent the CAS Trust at the first social gathering of The Proud Valiants - Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Addicks - at The Valley, recently. The Football Supporters' Federation had assisted in getting the gathering arranged, Fizz Waller was a most charming club rep and Matt Pennycook MP was a guest. The FSF chap - an Asian, ex-West Ham Utd professional - spoke about his experience of 'casual' racism in the pro dressing rooms and said that the next challenge was to break homophobia at football, be it the deliberately hurtful comment, or 'casual banter'.
One is mindful of the boorish chants that would have it that all Liverpudlians are thieves and on the dole. Doubtless, some are on the dole, and doubtless some Brighton fans are gay - and some of them are men. The latter is true, I should think, for every club in the land, CAFC included - as evidenced by a fantastic turn-out at The Valley. I don't wish to slate the OP on this, but do wish to register that 'casual banter', whilst not meant to offend, can offend...so it's probably best to say, write, or chant now't. Enjoy the game.
Just when you think the regime couldn't get any lower, they allow The Valley to be used by a disgusting group like Proud Valliants. Proud Valliants took great delight in participating in London Pride, that quite openly discriminated and made libellous allegations against UKIP and its members.
Proud valliants and its supporters need to look at there own actions before they get all uppity about lame message board jokes.
I call on Anna kissed to apologise for the actions of proud valliants.
This thread, my friend, was about the Brighton game. As is so often the case in reference to Brighton fans, someone made the easy dig with a 'Backs against the wall' comment. I have no knowledge whatsoever about your reference to UKIP. I attended the Proud Valiants' gathering as a representative of CAS Trust, the Trust having been invited to attend the event. I was pleased to do so. If it makes you feel any better, I am heterosexual - whilst being fully supportive of our gay and lesbian Addicks. I suggest that if you have a problem with some pre-existing communication between Proud Valiants and UKIP, you take the matter up with either organisation. Meanwhile, I shall do my best to rid the terraces of sexism, racism, and homophobia.

It was a joke mate, a bit of banter. I would never take the mick directly out of a gay man or woman for being gay. ffs

Just when I thought you couldn't get any nastier there you go again, you really are a vile person.
