Queens Park Rangers partner with LGBT football club

Queens Park Rangers announce a strategic partnership with LGBT football side London Titans.

Queens Park Rangers have announced a new partnership with LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) football side London Titans FC.

The community partnership - announced at the start of the 'Football vs. Homophobia Month of Action' - will include "a greater LGBT presence" at Loftus Road on matchdays and tutorials for Titans players from QPR coaches.

"As a club we're really proud to provide an accepting and competitive space for players to experience the game regardless of their sexuality," said Titans manager Phil Steer.

"Over the last 10 years we've come a long way and it's great to see the community that has grown around a love of the game free from the homophobia you may find elsewhere.

"Entering into partnership with QPR signals an exciting step for the club, and the importance on both sides of keeping equality at the heart of football."

Titans play in the Gay Football Supporters' Network's National League.
