The Justin Campaign

A promotional image for the Justin Campaign. It reads: ‘Tackling homophobia in football. Inspired by the only ever out-gay professional football player.’
The Justin Campaign was founded to demonstrate that ten years after Justin Fashanu’s tragic suicide in 1998, homophobia is still hugely prevalent in both grassroots and professional football.
Along with raising awareness the campaign has a strong focus on Art, Events, Education and football. Through these four key initiatives and some forward thinking strategic work with other inclusive sporting organisations, The Justin Campaign seeks to challenge the stereotypes and misconceptions that exist around LGB & T (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Trans) people and work towards a future where the visibility of LGB & T people in football is both accepted and celebrated.
There are a number of things you can do to support us. Play for our campaigning team, The Justin Fashanu All-Stars, become a volunteer or make a donation.
