Fighting against homophobia, a “still very taboo and delicate subject” for young footballers

Fighting against homophobia a still very taboo and delicate subject

Last weekend, in France, a handful of football players did not wish to wear a flocked shirt of a rainbow, symbol of the fight against homophobia, within the framework of the annual campaign of the Professional Football League. Yoann Lemaire, a 41-year-old former footballer, himself a homosexual, has been working since 2016 with his Foot Ensemble association to raise awareness among young footballers against discrimination, in training centers or amateur clubs. And for him, on this world day against homophobia and transphobia, there is still a long way to go.
