Gay Football Supporters Network (G.F.S.N.)

The Gay Football Supporters Network (GFSN) was formed in 1989 with the purpose of bringing together gay and lesbian supporters of the beautiful game. Initially meeting in a small bar in Islington, the organisation grew into a national concern very quickly and has continued to be successful throughout the 1990's to the present day.
The main concerns on its founding still hold true today - that is that while football is the greatest sport in the world it can be intimidating for gays and lesbians due to the homophobic attitudes of large sections of the crowd. Also the gay scene is generally disapproving of sport in general and football in particular so a forum for talking football in a gay environment was sadly lacking.
At the moment the group is beginning to get involved with leading clubs to try to provide the impetus for the Kick Homophobia Out of Football campaign, which aims to follow the (at least partial) success of the Kick Racism Out of Football campaign.
There are regional groups of GFSN throughout the country from the South Coast to Yorkshire and the North West. These groups meet regularly to watch or play football, or just to socialise. Group activities take many different forms from the national get together which can attract over 100 members over a weekend to informal theatre and cinema trips involving just 2 or 3 members.
Some members offer accomodation to traveling members, which can be very useful for away trips and is a good way of meeting new members.
The whole package is held together by the newsletter, which is published 10 times per year and gives details of national and regional goings on plus any scandal involving GFSN members.
Membership is only £15 per year (£22 for dual membership). More information is available from the GFSN website along with a downloadable membership form.
