The #ProudMaroons call to action
Together, letโs tell Qatar that love is not a crime. When Qatar plays, letโs show our LGBTQ+ love, by posting, by kissing, by sharing your pride, and helping to create a movement that spans far past when the games end. Proud Maroons
World Cup might be over with Road to 2022 & FIFA wallowing in the glory of their successful #sportswashing but the fight for LGBT+ equality & acceptance in sport and beyond goes on by groups such as gaygooners ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ Pride in Football ๐ณ๏ธโ๐โฝ๏ธ @LGTBI_VCF Proud Maroons & many, many others.
Thanks to BBC Sport for the opportunity ๐๐พโฝ๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ

Now the corrupt #QatarWorldCup is over my profile pic will, once again, sport some colour.
Unfortunately, protecting the rights of migrant workers and LGBTQ people is not quite as easy a task.
Solidarity, always Proud Maroons
If you're watching this World Cup. If you're watching USA vs Iran.
Use your love for the sport for good this #GivingTuesday .

We are fortunate to live in Wales, where we can be ourselves without fear of prosecution on the basis of our LGBT+ identities.
We show solidarity with those in Qatar who are not able to enjoy such freedoms, and take this moment to announce that we join Proud Maroons
If you'd like to support Qataris who are being persecuted by their own government as members of the actual LGBT community join me, the San Francisco Spikes, and the Proud Maroons at Lookout tomorrow afternoon.
