Jon is joined by Erin Williams, Sport Programmes Manager at Stonewall and Jack King. Jack covers film and TV for publications including GQ and Vulture, often focusing on LGBTQ+ characters and storylines.
Jon, Erin and Jack will discuss everything from the tabloids to Ted Lasso as they evaluate how the media has and does cover sexuality and gender in the beautiful game and how that treatment impacts LGBTQ+ fans.
