Foxes Pride LGBT Fan Group

Foxes Pride will be joining with other LGBT groups across Leicester and Leicestershire at this year's Leicester Pride festival. Leicester Pride takes place on Victoria Park, and is preceded by a parade, starting at Curve Theatre and ending at Victoria Park. We would like to invite any Foxes Pride members, friends and supporters of LCFC who support our aims to join us and, as ever, Filbert Fox on the parade. We will be wearing Leicester City shirts and will be congregating outside Curve at about 11.30am on Saturday 2nd September. The parade is always a lot of fun, and we will then be on Victoria Park for the afternoon with our stall. Leicester City will also be there with their community team. We'd love to see you there. for more, click here: https://www.facebook.com/FoxesPride/posts/1610393148991052

Thanks for the positive comments, and for the other comments, well at least its made conversation ! No offence was taken by me personally but it does make you think doesn't it ? In an ideal world there would be no need for an LGBT Supporters Group, or Kick Racism Out Of Football or an anti-sexism campaign, or an.... you catch my drift ? A growing percentage of people these days are decent folk who have no issues or hang-ups regarding anyone 'different' to them but the reality is also that there is still an issue, albeit a (hopefully) slowly diminishing one. At the end of the day all we want to do is help people support our mutual true love, Leicester City and football, so by making this group I hope we can do that, if we help just one LGBT person feel more comfortable/confident in supporting LCFC then I'll be happy ! Hopefully we can do more of course ! The group is certainly not exclusive, we already have LGBT and straight members (my family for a start, both my dad are brother are long-time season ticket holders) and the club themselves are being very supportive, for which we are extremely grateful. So lets keep it positive ! Thanks all

Hi everyone ! We've started a new supporters group called Foxes Pride which is aimed at helping LGBT fans support LCFC and vice-versa, as well as helping to break down the barriers in our beloved game. The group is open to anyone to join and combines supporting LCFC whilst promoting a safe environment for those in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to enjoy football. We have a twitter account and Facebook page (see my profile) and are setting up a web page. We'll be marching at Leicester Pride this weekend, Saturday 5th September, and we will also have a stall on Victoria Park, so if you're around come say hi, you may even get a chance to have a photo with Filbert !
