French anti Homophobia

French anti Homophobia

For the first time ever professional football players publicly take part in a video against homophobia in football. 

To remark the participation of the Professional Football League's president, the one and only french football institution who sustains our action since 2008.

Not to forget the remarkable presence of the President of Montpellier, Louis Nicollin, who makes us notice his change of position about this matter by a simple wink (in Auxerre, he tagged the player Pedretti as a fag in front of the many cameras of Canal+).

This video is the proof that opinions are really changing for the better when it comes to homophobia.

Since the foundation of Paris Foot Gay we have noticed the strong impact that these attitudes and declarations have brought to young players and supporters.

We give thanks to the football  teams of the number-one league which have signed the paper: the Girondins of Bordeaux, the Montpellier Hérault sport club and the Paris Saint-Germain. It’s thanks to them that this video clip had been realized.

Alas, the Evian Thonon Gaillard Football Club is the only one who has answered positively to our request to sign the paper against homophobia launched by the Football Professional League May 8th..


Logically, we expect that the teams represented by their players on this very video clip, namely the Olympique Lyonnais and the Stade Rennais, will follow the same path. As well as for the other 32 football teams of the league number 1 and 2.


We would like all the teams to publish this video on theirs website.

In the video (in order of appearance) :

Frédéric Thiriez Président of the Professioanal Football League,  Nicolas Douchez (Rennes League 1), Sonny Anderson (old player of the Lyon League 1), Dimitri Szarzewski (Rugbyman - Stade Français), Marc Planus (Bordeaux League 1), Matthieu Chalmé (Bordeaux League1), Miralem Pjanic (Lyon League1), Romain Danzé (Rennes League1), Ludovic Giuly (Paris League1) and Louis Nicollin (President of the Montpellier League 1).
