    Real shame that a fuel error means Sebastian Vettel’s superb drive at the #HungarianGP won’t be rewarded. But the @AstonMartinF1 driver’s allyship for #LGBTQ+ people across the whole weekend won’t be forgotten. Thank you Seb. 👍🏆 #WeRaceAsOne 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

    There’ll be much said and written as Graeme Souness steps down from @SkySportsPL punditry - we also remember his allyship, how he supported #RainbowLaces and spoke on air about being part of @PrideBrighton, and how he was genuinely keen to learn. ⚽️🌈 /1

    Today’s Twitter episode involving Iker Casillas and Carles Puyol has been hugely dispiriting for LGBTQ+ people and allies. The flippancy of the tweets and weak backtrack plays into the hands of homophobes. The haste from various media outlets to publish content was also poor. /1
