Tackling homophobia – Rainbow Laces launches

Published on 09 April 2018

Throughout the week, students will be wearing rainbow laces in their shoes to help tackle homophobia, biphobia and transphobia in sports.

The campaign runs annually and kicks off on Monday, 9 April until Friday, 13 April during Varsity.

To get involved, you can get rainbow laces from the Stonewall website. If you take part in Rainbow Laces 2018, remember to share your photos online with us @LivUni or @SportLiverpool using the hashtags #RainbowLaces.

To find out more, please visit the Stonewall Rainbow Laces webpages.

Last year, our sports clubs did us proud and made a fantastic effort to support Rainbow Laces. You can see some of the photos from last year’s campaign below:
