The FA have postponed the launch of a new video aimed at tackling homophobia in football.

A spokesman for The Justin Campaign said:
"The Justin Campaign are saddened at the FA’s announcement. However after having the opportunity to read John Amaechi’s take on the content of the video think that the FA have been wise in their decision to seek further consultation on the video's production and subsequent release.

"The postponement of this long awaited and much needed video has raised grave concerns regarding the FA’s overall approach to tackling homophobia. The Justin Campaign hope that the FA will see this as an opportunity to review the way they consult on their new strategy and open up this process to include the wider LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered) community.

"If the FA’s new strategy is to include anything let its priority be the positive portrayal of LGBT people to its supporters, players and staff and the introduction of creative educational programmes, their foundation in sport, that engage with youth and adults alike on issues surrounding diversity. The overall message being that homophobia is unacceptable in any form, anywhere."
