The support of my teammates and the solidarity we share on and off the pitch has always allowed me to express myself in football and in life. For the month of June, Aviva Pride will be celebrating the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community by sharing educational resources and creating fundraising opportunities. By choosing to #LaceUpWithPride, together we can show LGBTQ+ young people that there are spaces for them to come together and be who they are. In a year where we have seen first-hand the power of sport, we are hopeful that people will rally together to help raise much needed funds to support the crucial work of Belong To.” That said, we can all do more to ensure that Irish sport is a safe space for members of the LGBTQ+ community. Through our frontline work with LGBTQ+ youth, we see the confidence playing sport can give to young people who need it most.
