Summary
We've got a slightly different episode of Upfront to round off the year as Flo, Rachel and Chloe sit down for a conversation about sexuality, openness and acceptance within women's football.
The game has always been a safe space of inclusivity and acceptance for those on the pitch, in the stands and in the press box. We chat about our experiences within that sphere and what can be done to further improve the game's relationship with its LGBTQ+ community. We also hear from Arsenal's Katie McCabe and Aston Villa's Ruesha Littlejohn, one of the game's most well known and celebrated couples, about unapologetic openness and using their platform.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Upfront on Football Rumble Presents. I'm Flo Lloyd Hughes. I'm Clay Morgan and I'm |
| 0:17.2 | Reginald Sullivan. Today's show is our last one of the year. It's got real like end of term |
| 0:24.7 | Christmas vibes when your teacher just plays DVDs for the last week of school and you don't do |
| 0:29.1 | any work. So we essentially have like taken over the studio, we've taken over the production |
| 0:35.0 | team and we decided that for the end of term we were going to do a special episode. Nick named |
| 0:40.9 | the big gay podcast by Flo Morgan. I'm just going to say 69. Trademark TM and it's very exciting |
| 0:49.6 | because I think it's quite rare to be given the opportunity to basically say this is what we're |
| 0:54.3 | going to do. This is what we're going to talk about and I think it's something that in our own |
| 0:58.8 | personal experiences we all feel really excited and happy about being able to share. We're going to |
| 1:04.4 | cover a few different things. We're going to talk about sexuality. We're going to talk about the |
| 1:09.4 | women's game and the brilliant safe space that's being created. We're going to talk about the |
| 1:13.5 | amazing couples within it. We're going to be talking about visibility, fans, anything else I've |
| 1:18.7 | missed Rachel. I don't think so. Our personal experience is probably touching that already but |
| 1:23.5 | yeah there's lots to be covering. Also like what more can be done by clubs and stuff I think |
| 1:28.1 | is another thing we'll touch on. Yeah we're in a very good place I think in Women's Football |
| 1:32.2 | the moment and I think with Rainbow Laces it's been going on recently sort of started December. |
| 1:37.4 | I think that really got us all thinking about how we want to sort of shout from the rooftops |
| 1:42.0 | about why Women's Football is such an amazing space to be involved in and I also think what we want |
| 1:47.7 | to do is say it's not just about Rainbow Laces and I think that's why the BGP which is the |
| 1:54.0 | little acronym for it is really important because these sorts of conversations will go beyond |
| 1:59.7 | just one day where you wear rainbow on band and chuck some laces on. They're conversations that |
| 2:05.5 | have actually happening in Women's Football quite recently and then we talk about how brilliant |
