Stacey, Natalie and Gemma praised the football community as an inclusive environment where they have never faced any discrimination or fallen victim to any hate crime. Stacey stated that football has allowed her to be who she is, and without it she would never have met her wife Natalie.
Gemma echoed their sentiments, saying; “Swansea City is an inclusive club and everyone is welcomed with open arms."
Swansea City is committed to eradicating hate crimes and discrimination of any form. Supporter group Proud Swans has a growing number of members who work closely with Swansea City in ensuring that everyone is treated with respect and dignity.
Catherine Thomas, Swansea City's head of fan engagement, said: " Swansea City is a unique family club, and once you are a jack you are part of a wider footballing family and community.

As it should be and if anyone is not happy with that they should find another club to support. |
Haven’t you contradicted yourself there ? |  |

Just because they are supporting a day to highlight phobia against several groups why do you have to bring your right wing opinionated view into it? Where does the statement mention anything political?
You and your ilk are becoming very tiresome attacking anything that goes against your uber right wing views.
And before you start spouting lefties, lefties, lefties, I am not a fvcking lefty ok. |
and up pops the Union man.
Righties eh?
You are clueless | |

Religiously yes. You are right.
But you’ve gone in deep. |
The club can support whatever they want.
The problem is these supporting efforts are the thin end of the wedge.
Where is it going to stop?
I am getting p!ssed off by wokeness taken to the nth degree.
There are no sports, celebrations etc where it not shoved down our throats and that includes politics.
I do not watch sport or listen to music etc to be "re-educated" in the latest fashionable thing. | | | |

Much of this is put out there to be seen to be "supportive".Utter BS of course.
I have my own vivid memories of Swansea and anti gay etc stuff was non existent. It was a town renowned for narrow mindedness and the proliferation of evangelical chapels made it a fundamental "Christian" environment with all the hate that entails. | |

This thread has been locked, the abuse has not only been reported to me but also fansnetwork. Bans have been issued. It’s absolutely disgusting that a thread like this that is meant to encourage a more functional, and tolerant society can be hijacked by pathetic political motive or an anti agenda.
And on a day when our team are playing a very important game. It’s pathetic. Enough.
Got a problem ?
PM me.
