Merseyside LGBTQ+ football fans have spoken out against England’s decision not to wear the OneLove armband.
The Three Lions, who opened their World Cup campaign today, were one of nine teams to come together in deciding to don the distinctive OneLove armbands during matches in a bid to support inclusivity and LGBTQ+ rights in Qatar - a country where homosexuality is illegal and punishable by death for Muslim men.
However, it was announced today, just hours before England's match against Iran, that captain, Harry Kane, would not wear the armband after the Football Association backed down in the face of FIFA’s threat to show the Tottenham Hotspur striker a yellow card.
