I think he would get the same reaction in most countries
Unfortunately some fans will do anything to give their team an advantage and if that means abusing a gay player to put him off his game then that's what some will do | | | |

I know what you’re saying mate,but it shouldn’t be acceptable,and it needs to be highlighted as such.Luckily most normal fans don’t abuse players for the colour of their skin,so why should some people think it’s ok to abuse players because of their sexuality?
On a separate theme,we had the misfortune to have a man and a boy sat around us yesterday.It started with the man throwing a few f words around virtually as soon as the game started,but the boy,who I guess was about 11,quickly outdid him in the swearing stakes.It got worse in the 2nd half as Gray missed the open goal.This kid shouts out as loud as his little lungs could shout “You’re f@cking sh@t Gray.”And those around also heard the c bomb uttered by this child.
Now I may be getting old,but when did it become acceptable to let what I guess was his son swear as much as this kid did yesterday?And in the family stand too.We all swear a bit too much at times I guess,but this was definitely ott yesterday. [Post edited 9 Jan 2022 11:28]

I've read that Conor Gallagher suffered homophobic abuse at Mill;wall yesterday.
No doubt this was in the spirit of their usual light heartedness! | | | |

May well have been a certain song we sing about Chelsea, which Liverpool targetted Billy Gilmour with.
Be good to kick that one out of our repertoire. |  |

My kids can sing along with songs with swearing in like Magic Hat and Captain Jack but squeaking out random obscenities is embarrassing and a bit tourettey. I've never had to tell them this thankfully.
On the OP, I'm not speaking from lived experience but don't think homophobic abuse is the problem it was in the 80s and early 90s. Le Saux used to get it pretty constantly but that may have been down to being well-groomed and admitting to reading the Guardian in a time when footballers didn't openly do either. |  | | |

That song is up there with mourinho is gay for embarrassing songs.Change it to w@nkers or racists and it would be more appropriate. | | | |

I’m sure Justin Fashanu was still playing when he came out and the reaction soon dulled down as fans got bored. I suspect that nowadays notwithstanding the moronic song about Chel*** which in my view does nothing to inspire the team which I thought singing was all about, that at least QPR supporters would be more than accepting of an openly gay player playing for us or even against us. | |
