In the wake of the Rankine incident and the AFLs handling of it there have been countless incidents of players being harrased on social media. And while that is appalling, queer pie fans are also being targeted. Myself and friends of mine have received some pretty shocking messages and cyber stalking. The worst tribalistic bigots will say anything to get under your skin. They are vicious cowards.

If you are being targeted feel free to reach out if you want to talk. If you have a lgbtqi+ pie supporter in your life check in if you can. This community has given me a lot of faith in the attitudes of most footy people.
