Everton Football Club are supporting a nationwide campaign to show support for gay, lesbian, bi and trans players and fans at every level of sport.
Stonewall’s Rainbow campaign will see more than 60 professional clubs - including every Premier League club - and hundreds of thousands of fans show their support to the LGBT community this weekend.
While most sports fans welcome and accept LGBT people in sport, recent research has shown that half of all supporters have heard offensive remarks in the last five years.
To support the movement, Everton’s captain will wear a specially-made Rainbow Armband for the clash with Southampton on Sunday.
