Referee David Gough yesterday branded the GAA’s refusal to allow Mayo players to wear rainbow colours on their jerseys in support of the LGBTQ+ community as “abhorrent”.
David, who is openly gay, said the GAA is wrong to prevent players from showing their support with rainbow colours.
Mayo GAA sought permission to have Kevin McStay’s team wear the rainbow-coloured numbers for home games in the 2023 Allianz Football League.
