The Rainbow Laces campaign isn’t enough

Last week was Rainbow Laces week. Football clubs up and down the pyramid dedicate matches to LGBTQ+ inclusion. Players can choose to wear the accessories in solidarity with LGBTQ+ fans and to signal to any closeted footballers that they are a safe person to come out to. Club captains may also replace their usual armband with one adorning the rainbow flag.
