2nd Consecutive Win at Football v Homophobia Awards!
Last night Proud Baggies were confirmed as winners in the Best Fan Group category at the prestigious Football v Homophobia Awards for the second year running.
Fellow fan groups Rainbow Blades and Proud Lilywhites were named in 2nd and 3rd place. Due to the pandemic the winners were announced online.
Speaking in a video on Proud Baggies’ Twitter account, founder Piero Zizzi expressed how our work has become even more important in the current climate, with people suffering from loneliness and isolation because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It is an absolute honour to win this for the second consecutive year. Now more than ever LGBTQ+ supporters' groups are vitally important with the increased isolation and loneliness. We have found more in the last year we are not just having an impact on our members’ matchday experiences but also on their everyday lives, their health and their wellbeing.”
🏆🏳️🌈 We are delighted to be awarded winners of the ‘Fan Group’ category at the @FvHtweets Awards for the 2nd consecutive year.
