 British football club supports anti-homophobia campaign February 20, 2012 - 10:52 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Ipswich Town Football Club will use the February 25 home game against Cardiff to back a campaign against homophobia in football, according to BBC. The campaign has been inspired by the late Justin Fashanu who was among the world's first openly gay footballers. Camilla Haycock, spokeswomen at Ipswich Town, said: "There is no place for homophobia in football and the Ipswich Town is happy to support the campaign." The Football v Homophobia project is the brainchild of the Justin Campaign, which has been working with the club and Suffolk Police as well as other clubs across the UK. Jason Hall, campaign founder, said: "The response to Football v Homophobia this year has been fantastic and we are delighted to have the support of both Ipswich Town and Suffolk Police. "It is all about giving the community the opportunity to take their own individual stance and spread the word in the fight against homophobia in football."
