Football v Homophobia Scotland's Oral History Archive
Despite football’s reputation for queerphobia, the LGBTIQ+ community has always been part of our national sport.
In the archive we aim to record, preserve, and share the personal stories of Scottish football’s LGBTQIA+ players, fans and officials at all levels of the beautiful game.
This initial series of interviews represents just a small slice of LGBTQIA+ Scottish football and its history. The exhibit showcases snapshots of longer oral history interviews conducted between March and June 2025. The full audio recordings and transcripts of these interviews have been donated to the National Library of Scotland’s Sound and Moving Image Archive, where they have been made available to researchers and the public in perpetuity.
This exhibition has been curated and presented by Football v Homophobia Scotland.
