Celtic FC Stands with Pride: Second Year at Glasgow Parade

Celtic FC Foundation and the club have announced their participation in the Glasgow 2024 Pride Parade, marking their second consecutive year of support for the LGBTQ+ community.

This participation reaffirms Celtic's commitment to its mantra, "a club open to all." The club's history is rooted in inclusivity, championing those facing discrimination based on their race, religion, or sexual orientation. This principle extends to supporting the LGBTQ+ community, who unfortunately face prejudice from a small but vocal segment of society.

The announcement on X (formerly Twitter) was met with both support and bigotry. Sadly, some individuals claiming to be Celtic supporters voiced hateful and discriminatory views against the LGBTQ+ community. It's disheartening to see such intolerance within a fanbase known for its strong sense of community and social justice.

It's vital to remember that hating someone for their sexuality or gender identity is a form of bigotry. Celtic FC has a long history of fighting against all forms of discrimination, upholding the fundamental truth that everyone is equal regardless of their background.

This stance against bigotry is core to the club's identity. While the voices of intolerance are a regrettable presence, they do not represent the true spirit of Celtic FC. The club, along with its dedicated supporters, continues to strive for a future where acceptance and tolerance are the norm, ensuring that Celtic truly remains a welcoming space for all.
