Support from Joey Barton

QPR star Joey Barton says "people’s sexuality shouldn’t be an issue" in the sport.

The player has called for professional footballers in England and Scotland to support a Stonewall and Paddy Power campaign addressing homophobia in the game by wearing rainbow laces in their boots..

"The Right Behind Gay Footballers" campaign is focused on changing attitudes in football rather than urging players to come out and wants players to wear the laces in games..
