When I lived in the USA, my support for Manchester City brought about the odd misunderstanding. Not least because of my habit of abbreviating it - frankly, people thought it was a gay bar. So, to avoid crossed wires, I decided not to press for the vanity plate I wanted for the Subaru.
Now, you can imagine, when I read this, I did a bit of a double-take. Not least because of the Lardbucket Moyles's perjorative misappropriation of the word. But no: Manchester City have announced, during Manchester Pride, that they are the first professional football club to join Stonewall's Diversity Champions scheme.
About time too. I've long been embarrassed by the way that my fellow supporters resort to homophobic abuse at the drop of a hat, and I hope that this commitment to diversity will make supporting City a less toe-curling experience.
That's two results in a weekend I'm chuffed about.
