Should the club wear rainbow laces next week?

I'm having the epithet "if you can't cut the mustard you can always lick the jar" printed in Arabic on mine in the hope that Sepp Blatter will take note and highlight the issue in his opening speech at the Qatar World Cup.
And you're all invited to attend the British Old Nobbers  Erection Rally (BONER) in the New Zealand Chief for a few pints before the match.

I dont wish them any harm and like SK say's what they do at home is up to them but  they can stay the fuck away from me.

If it raises awareness then i really don't see the harm.

If this was something to do with racism then the clubs would be lining up to do it, the stigma attached to homosexuality in sport is still a ways back unfortunately.

Please tell me you are not seriously comparing Breast Cancer to being a homosexual.

Why would anybody want to be attracted to the same sex, and in doing so, surrender the ability to have children, a family, and in many cases live up to their family, friends' and society in general's expectations? It just doesn't make sense.

There's a reason suicide rates among young gays and lesbians is comparatively higher than among the general population and it's that they want to be the way nature supposedly intended them to be, but it's out of their hands.

Doffcocker is right.
