Let us know what you will do for the 2026 Month of Action by completing this form!
We work year-round, but February is the Football v Homophobia Month of Action, when we ask football clubs, from the grassroots to the premier league, to focus their efforts. Clubs can get involved by:
- Dedicating one of your February match fixtures to the campaign.
- Running an event that highlights LGBTIQ+ inclusion in football.
- Creating content that celebrates your LGBTIQ+ fans, members and players, using the FvH Scotland branding and merchandise.
- Fundraising for the year-round work of the campaign.
- Taking the time to reflect on the inclusion work you have done over the past year and to consider what you will do in the year to come.
Unfortunately, LGBTIQ+ people in Scotland feel more than twice as excluded from football as they do from any other sport that they are attracted to. And statistics show that LGBTIQ+phobia in footballing environments continues to be an ongoing problem. When asked what measures can be used to tackle discrimination in sport, a high-profile anti-homophobia campaign was the top choice (74%) of Scottish respondents to the OutSports survey. Getting involved in the Month of Action is one way to take a stand against LGBTIQ+phobia and to show LGBTIQ+ people that they do belong in the beautiful game.
Find out more about what you can do by reading our guide below and attending our upcoming Month of Action information session for football clubs, which you can sign-up for here.
