"We need high-profile sports clubs and personalities to stand up as allies and help make sport everyone's game by showing that homophobic abuse has no place in sport."

The majority of football fans (88 percent) said they would be either "proud" or "neutral" if their favourite player came out as gay. Most people also thought that offensive language directed at LGBTQ people in sport is a problem.
