New St Johnstone LGBTQ+ supporters group launched
A new St Johnstone supporters' group has been launched.
Proud Saintees is an organisation established for LGBTQ+ fans of the Perth club.
Perthshire Pride organiser, Iain Smith, helped form the group so that LGBTQ+ supporters won't feel discouraged to go to football games because they have no one to go with or fear the atmosphere in a stadium.
It hopes to encourage more LGBTQ+ fans to attend matches and provide a voice for them at St Johnstone, while championing social activity and building a sense of community.
Proud Saintees has the backing of the club, which has paid for their new banner; and Saints in the Community Trust, who picked up the cost of leaflets distributed at Perthshire Pride.
