Summary: Gay Football Club (Press, 2 December 1988)
On 2 December 1988, it was reported that a group of Dutch homosexual footballers in Amsterdam have taken the initiative to establish their own football club named FC Gay. The organiser of the club, Gerard van Reijsen, highlighted a significant issue faced by many gay footballers: the inability to openly discuss their sexuality due to the prevailing negativity among most players towards homosexuals. By forming this club, they aim to create a supportive environment where gay players can connect, share their experiences, and address the challenges they face. Additionally, the club's mission includes fostering acceptance of homosexuality among heterosexual football players, thereby promoting inclusivity within the sport.
