Hello everyone! I hope you all have had a great start to the new year.
You have probably noticed our absence over the past few months and wondered when, or if, we would be back working. We had quite a few problems with the website because of our domain being purchased by a third party, but now we can finally announce that we are back! Our website address has changed to redcardhomophobia.net and we hope to be posting new articles shortly.
In order to return fully though we need everyone's support and energy to keep this project alive. Everyone working at Red Card Homophobia also has work, school, family, etc responsibilities that also require their attention, so it would be great if more of you could volunteer to help.
You can do this by writing articles or finding articles from your local community and sending them to us. Please leave a comment if you are interested in writing and we will have our head of writers message you. Other ways to help are simply spreading some RCH love on twitter, commenting on the posts we put up, and/or making graphics in support of kicking homophobia out of football.
Thank you all for your continued support of Red Card Homophobia.

We at Red Card Homophobia hope you had a lovely holiday season and we wish you all a very happy 2012.
Our plans for this year are:
1.) Getting our website back and running again. (Almost there! We bought a domain but activating it shows to be harder than it sounds.)
2.) Resuming some of our activities of last year.
3.) Thinking up and starting new activities. (We started working on that and almost have the announced video ready. More to follow!)
We look forward to share everything with you and work together for a more tolerant football climate.
Thank you for your continued support!

And here's the link to the German site.

really interesting, just wanted to share :)
Updates from @JamesPiotr:
Jonny "Jayiah" Saela STARTS for American Samoa. First ever transgender player to play in
Kick off. Jayiah having a stormer at centre back. 0-0. Evenly matched
Am sam through on goal! But miss. Jayieh makes a crunching two foot tackle. Ref doesn't see it, thankfully.
Another shot on target for Am Sam. Nicky Salapu makes a great save at the other end.Jayieh owns the Tongan forwards. Best player on pitch.
Hold onto your hats. American Samoa 1-0 Tonga. Team go in for a bundle. GK Nicky Salapu screaming into the air.
Sh*t the bed. American Samoa 2-0 Tonga. Doubled the amount of goals they have ever scored. Thank you Morrisey.
Tonga score and then Nicky Salapu makes a brilliant save! 2-1 five minutes to go.
FT Am Sam 2-1 Tonga. Incredible scenes. Team do a full haka.
The Haka was amazing.But the highlight was the GK. Redemption for him after his 31-0 defeat. And Jayieh crying. Player of the match.
Awesome :D

I'm not sure if we had this on here before, but below you see one of the posters of Maneo, a gay anti-violence organisation based in Berlin, Germany.
Here's the link to the English version of their website, but it can also be viewed in several other languages.
