What exactly do you class as the 'dark ages?'. To be absolutely honest with you the last thing on my mind when I attend football match is why aren't there more gay players or why am I not sitting next to an openly gay fan?
Frankly I couldn't care less about it as I go to a football matches to watch games of football and not to campaign for social change.
I would also add I have never witnessed open hostility towards anyone because of their sexuality. There are the Brighton chants but they are said in banter the same as when the linesman's eyesight is questioned, is that really causing offence to every fan wearing glasses in the stadium?
The 'problem' these days is everyone has the potential to be offended about something. Maybe the answer is for fans like you to stop inventing problems which aren't there. If a player or fan wants his sexuality to be known then they will do that but then they then also have a responsibility to stop making other fans feel uncomfortable because they are afraid to open their mouths in case something is taken out of context.
Again I'll say that I think Cardiff is very accepting as a club and I have never been subject to abuse and like everyone else I go to games to watch the football, not talk about my sexuality. I was only writing about the idea of an LGBT group as there are lots of clubs who are now creating their own and wanted to see what our fans thought of the idea. I was hoping that would create a discussion more about the game as a whole, not just at Cardiff.
In regards to what you said about players coming out...that is not the case at all. There is not a single gay player in any professional league in the country, statistically that simply doesn't add up. When you have agents and people like Amal Fashanu coming forward to say they know of professional players who are gay and who are depressed and live in fear for people finding out their identity...surely that's a problem isn't it? What if one of those players turned out to be one of ours, would you support that player or would you tell him he's part of the problem because he's too easily offended?
