This banner celebrates women’s football and the radical possibilities for social change that it can bring. The banner raises the issues of ongoing sexism and homophobia faced by women in sport. Much anti-homophobia campaigning in sports has focused on men’s experiences, whereas this collaboration focuses on the unique challenges of being female and gay. The banner champions grass roots football, in particular explicitly anti-fascist teams like Republica Internationale as spaces for celebrating LGBT people, and challenging ongoing discrimination.

Women’s rights belong to all women and the group's message is that therefore we must have inclusion, representation and solidarity for all women before we have true equality.
