Brentford supports Premier League with Pride – pitchside chat with the LGBeeTs

All Premier League matches in this round of fixtures are dedicated to Premier league with Pride, a new initiative bringing together clubs’ ongoing work in LGBTQ+ inclusion to help deliver long-term change.

For the launch, ahead of kick-off Keith Andrews will present the LGBeeTs, our LGBTQIA+ fan group, with a personalised illustration to celebrate the group.

Be seated for 7.20pm to hear how their members and the club are working together to make Brentford inclusive and welcoming to all.

On Tuesday 17 February, Brentford will host Our Game with Pride, a special panel discussion focused on breaking down barriers to inclusion for the LGBTQIA+ community in football.
