Bradford City To Fly Rainbow Flag At Matches
Bradford City — the team Bermuda’s star striker Nahki Wells plays for in the UK — is showing support for the gay community by flying the rainbow flag at their home stadium for all match days during this season.
A spokesperson for City said, “Bradford City F.C prides itself on being inclusive to all and welcomes participants and spectators to the stadium whatever their social background, colour, religion or sexual orientation. We are happy to fly the flag as an indication we are an open and inclusive club.”
Lindsay England, founder of LGBT campaign organisation ‘Just a Ball Game’, said: “The club has been active for a number of years now against homophobia and discrimination, and this is a great way to show how inclusive they are for LGBT fans of football.
“With this flag the club shows they are giving a hugely visible sign that these issues have great importance at Bradford City and are working hard on them, and welcoming a local LGBT community.
“A number of our partner organisations and patrons have backed the initiative and said it is a great message to send out to LGBT supporters of the club and also for the football world, now we await to see if other professional and non-league teams followed suit.”
