[St Charles Owl]

To be honest, all this hoo-hah about sport and politics, and sex and gender, as well as religion just leaves me cold.

I don't want to wear rainbow laces, or particularly support the LGBT+ community, but if you want to, that's fine by me. I don't have friends who are gay, but I have a few acquaintances who are, and there's nothing wrong with them. There is one who is outrageously gay and I don't really like him, but I'd dislike an outrageously heterosexual just as much.

I appreciate that LGBT+ people can find life more difficult than most, in certain circumstances, and I do feel a lot of sympathy for them in that respect.

An interesting, caring, responsible human being is all I need around me.

Completely agree with this, over here its not just sport that gets involved, it seems everyday life is always involved. The problem over here is the people who actually campaign against the existence or rights of the LGBT+ community!! Most people are like you or I, I simply don't care what you do with your life or who you love or who loves you, for starters its none of my business!! But to actively campaign to restrict these people's activities and wishes for me is horrible!!

As regards this rainbow lace or armband initiative, as Devon says its when it is forced on people to do something that we see the issues arise. Make it an initiative that is voluntary, allow players who want to show support do so and lets applaud them when they do.
