With Sunderland Pride approaching, we recently sat down with graduate Sam Willey and Sociology academic Drew Dalton to discuss equality, current issues within the community and rise of LGBTQ football fan groups.
To support the need for wider inclusivity, SAFC LGBTQ was established by Sam to enhance the match day experience of LGBTQ supporters and to establish a dialogue with the club. His hard work has resulted in rainbow flags at the stadium and ongoing support from SAFC.. and it's just the beginning.
