This week marks the launch of the Football v Homophobia Week of Action.

The campaign has been inspired by the late Justin Fashanu who was Britain's first and only openly gay footballer.

The Football v Homophobia project is the brainchild of the Justin Campaign, which has been working with the FA and football clubs across the UK.

Staff at Kent FA were the first County FA in the country to take part in a national pilot of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender awareness workshop, which trained staff how to raise the profile of these equality issues in football.

Kent FA's Stephanie Gadd said "This campaign is all about giving the community the opportunity to take their own individual stance and spread the word in the fight against homophobia in football."
