Love has no shape

OK, so after reading this post and many other posts that are connected to homophobia in the past, I started thinking that maybe we here as a football community should stop talking and posting funny gifs and start acting! Well, we can still talk and post funny gifs, lol. (:

This community has more than 7300 members and I believe many of the people

how about next time babel tweets the #nohomo tag everybody replies and tells him to stfu? but in a more articulate way aha.
i'm actually serious lol, i know it seems like a stupid idea but in some ways it's useless the fans being opposed to homophobia if the players themselves seem content to be casually homophobic.
idk if that would work though haha but i definitely think that if a campaign or something is put into place it could be worth raising awareness through twitter. so many players (in the premier league at least) are reluctant to get involved in combating homophobia atm, i find it really sad.

UGH, THIS YES PLEASE.

Combating the idea that "homo = stupid" is so important to this cause and helps everyone get along better.

Hells yeah. And Babel uses it all the time. Like when he retweeted that pic of Cesc today like Jesus dude you're not even in it. Hip hop/Rap may be equal if not more homophobic than sports unfortunately.

It's something that american rappers started saying if their lyrics could be taken as unintentionally gay. It's so so dumb.

its honestly old and tired even for the people who said it a lot. rappers all say "pause" now instead.

or no skittles which is even stupider

yeah I like the guy, but I get irritated with the causal homophobia

[ophelia_66]

haha yeah hence why i said it probably wouldn't work! i think it would need to be something that really got him thinking, rather than just 'THAT'S HOMOPHOBIC!' which he'd probably just ignore lol

[saltypickles]

You know what though, I find he responds to negative comments. It could be good publicity if people call him out on it. I think he'd mention it. Maybe he'd retweet the hashtag! something like "#redcardhomophobia what is that?"

[kem_viva]

agree with this, i dont follow babel but i think that would be great

[scruby]

Ia. I always smh when he writes it and laugh because it's Babel being foolish and funny, but it does disturb me.

[ema_load]

he does that? how lovely of him.
