Create the Space: LGBT+ Identity in Women’s Football Calendar

19 February 2021 - 19 February 2021
7 - 8pm


Create the Space Football v Homophobia

Hall of Fame inductee Lily Parr has been chosen as one of LGBT+ History Month's Faces of the Year. In the first of our Create the Space talks, the National Football Museum will be teaming up with Football v Homophobia to discuss LGBT+ identity in the women's game, how it has changed through the decades, and our collective responsibility to tell the stories of those players.

Join our host, Sky Sports presenter Jess Creighton, and our panel as we explore LGBT+ contributions and representation within the women’s game.

Our panel line-up includes England and Aston Villa defender Anita Asante; Crystal Palace Women goalkeeper and Diversity & Inclusion Officer at Goal Diggers FC, Chloe Morgan; Director of Pride Sports, Lou Englefield; co-chair of Proud Lilywhites, Chris Paouros; and our very own Belinda Scarlett, Curator of Women's Football at the museum.

This LGBT+ History Month panel discussion will take place on Crowdcast. Register now for notifications and updates ahead of kick-off:
