@mscgluk I know many gay people that don't mind harmless banter,
do you want the FA to draw up a list of approved chants ?— michael peter crisp (@crispmp) April 7, 2013
@mscgluk It depends what u mean by name calling and i go to watch the game,not to abuse people,but banter has always been a part of football

@mscgluk I've been going to the Albion since 1969,so i've heard all sorts and these days things are very mild compared to the past.

MySoCalledGayLife.co.uk don’t think Brighton football supporters are to sensitive they have every right to draw attention to homophobic chants. We will rather say that football supporters chanting homophobic words are unsensitive.
What was “acceptable” to chanting about, in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 00’s is not the same as it always should be that way. Society has evolved since then and the football fans needs to step up as well.
MySoCalledGayLife.co.uk have the opinion that any chants that refers to homophobic, sexual orientation, racism or race are unacceptable in all forms and that’s why we think that Just a Ball game?, KickItOut and Football V Homophobia is doing a great and important work.
