Manchester United and Liverpool WON'T support the Rainbow Laces anti-homophobia campaign on their Arabic and Indonesian social media accounts - with clubs dialling down LGBT rights activism 'because it may do the cause more harm than good'

Liverpool and Manchester United are among the clubs who geolocated their social media accounts around the Premier League's Rainbow Laces campaign.

Standing alongside Stonewall, the campaign bids to promote equality and diversity irrespective of sexual orientation or gender.

The Premier League clubs have come together in the previous two matchweeks to show their backing of all LGBT people. Between December 4-13 their show of support included rainbow armbands for captains, rainbow laces worn by players as well as LED perimeter boards around stadiums too among other acts.
