<p>Although the Government does not set specific targets for tackling homophobia in
sports, all National Governing Bodies (NGBs) are expected to demonstrate equality
in sport and many support specific programmes such as the FA with its “Football’s
for Everyone” anti-discrimination plan. The Government is committed to ensuring this
expectation of equality is upheld and in March 2011 called for an end to homophobia
and transphobia in sport with the launch of <em>Tackling homophobia in sport: The
Charter for Action</em>.</p><p>Since then over 40 NGBs and approximately 4,000 sports
stars, fans and clubs from across the sporting world, including all professional football
clubs, have signed up to the Charter.</p>
