There's a difference between homophobia and chanting that someone's a gay or whatever, unsurprisingly the FA aren't able to realise this!
I still think that once one high profile footballer comes out as gay, plenty will follow - I doubt they'd get much stick, a bit of banter from crowds but nothing malicious. The game has to be rife with bumboys.
two words - justin fashanu - and weren't there were two west ham players that were shagging each other a few seasons ago - trevor morley?? Personally i don't give a fuck what people get up to in bed - as long as both (all) are consenting adults - fair to say footie players reflect the rest of society - most of the people giving out the abuse are just curious and can't admit it - why make an issue of it? (oh and by the way i am 100% hetrosexual!)
