Description
Mexican fans head to a 2022 World Cup qualifying match against Costa Rica at a near-empty Estadio Azteca due to a capacity limit imposed due to persistent homophobic chanting at national team matches. "I'm sure that the fact this is normalised in the stadium means that fans think it's also OK to do it outside the stadium," says Andoni Bello, captain of the Tri Gay, an amateur Mexican team made up of members of the LGBTQ+ community.
