The club is proud to show its crusade for Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces ahead of sunday’s North London derby with Arsenal, a historic instance that will see enthusiasts return to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time in more than nine months.
The crusade aims to “make the game everyone’s game”, with an emphasis on creating inclusive LGBTQ environments in football and games. Premier League clubs are active around home games played across the country over the next two match weekends.
Our stadium will be illuminated with the colors of the rainbow for Sunday’s game, with the visual rainbow mark on our LED signage, on screens and in the program of the day in shape. -Walsh – proud sponsor of Lilywhites – Earlier this week, Eric Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg participated in a virtual Q&A consultation with Proud Lilywhites members.
The club was one of the first to create an LGBTQ fan association, with Proud Lilywhites introduced in February 2014.
Since then, Proud Lilywhites has worked intensively with the Club on a variety of projects aimed at engaging Tottenham Hotspur’s FAN and LGBTQ partner base.
The group’s iconic flag is seen in the houses, LGBTQ awareness education has been organized for club staff and fit day managers, and football sessions have been provided for its members through the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.
Throughout the pandemic, the organization organized virtual quizzes and pre-game meetings to keep its members in times that were difficult to play normally.
One of the organization’s members, Robert, commented, “In addition to serious medical problems, COVID has brought a sense of isolation to many of us. Finding Lilywhites proud was a genuine positive thing, but in a different way, a grueling task for me. It was a lot of fun to be able to share the return of Premier League football with such a dedicated, supportive and enthusiastic organization.
Another member, Craig, said: “At a time when some of us were the most vulnerable, the Proud Lilywhites were there. Being away from the soccer environment I love for months straight is difficult, but having the WhatsApp organization means I feel connected.
