The moment the driver of the GG float at London Pride decided it was time to photobomb a group picture so as not to feel left out! I love this pic and so proud of the GayGooners who are like family to me. @gaygooners @prideinfootball @Arsenal 🏳️‍🌈❤⚽️

Been stewing on this since last Thursday. In Lisbon at pre-match meetup in Rossio Sq. too many @Arsenal supporters happily sang "Ashley Cole is a b***y boy!" To all Arsenal fans, this has to stop! Gaygooners were in ear shot of this vile homophobia. It is NEVER "just banter".

Without evidence, the police can't do much. The fact many joined in the chant is beyond disappointing, no one tried to stop it.

@GoonerInDetroit @Arsenal It is a wonderful initiative and as usual, Arsenal are the trailblazers in the Premier League. Jorginho has been amazing since joining the club and his confidence in using BSL in the recent video was brilliant. #ArsenalforEveryone

Hugely disappointing game to be at today...but we stick with the team thru the good, the bad and downright ugly. @Arsenal have outperformed 18 other teams in the PL this season and we are back in the CL where we belong. Onwards we go, supporting the boss and his team. ⚽❤️🤍⚽

Being a co-chair of @gaygooners can be quite serious & trying at times when dealing with the anti-LGBT+ issues, but seeing the joy of members attending football matches at home & away with kindred spirits outweighs the tough times we face sometimes. We ❤️ @Arsenal & @ArsenalWFC

Here we go again. There are very noble causes represented by the 8 allowed armbands but once again @FIFAcom has blatantly shown it will listen to (& accept money from ?) delegates from LGBT+ oppressive regimes over often ignored basic human rights. Today I feel belittled again.

What the last few days of comments on #RainbowLaces media posts shows me is that anti-LGBT+ elements are alive, well and totally unwilling to accept that LGBT+ people have rights too. No one EVER chooses to be LGBT+ but some can and do choose to be a bigot, hater & homophobic.

A man sat behind me in the disabled area shouted twice during the game with a racist slur towards a Newcastle player & then an ignorant chant about Arab men. I said, "unacceptable" & Arsenal fans are better than that. I told police nearby but reality is, nothing could be done.

We don't question who you love. We just want to be ourselves. We don't question what you do in the bedroom. We just want to be ourselves. How pride merchandise causes such hate is simply beyond me. No one is born homophobic, hate is learned from others.

Shameful anti-semitic abuse by some hateful Arsenal fans outside the 12 Pins Pub in Finsbury Park aimed at some Jewish men walking by the pub this evening. Too many of them for me to safely call them out but I am unhappy with myself for not doing so now. ☹ @Arsenal

15 years ago today my elder brother died suddenly and without warning of an undiagnosed heart condition. He never smoked, took any illicit substances and only drank alcohol occasionally. He never appeared in a comedy series but he didn't have to to be my hero. RIP brother Paul ❤️
