Supporters of Bahia are seen outside the Arena Fonte Nova stadium before the Brazil's Second Division Football Championship match between Bahia and Operario in Salvador, Bahia state, Brazil, on September 24, 2022. EC Bahia football team, in northeastern Salvador, is a rare safe space for gay fans who often steer clear of football stadiums for fear of coming under attack.
The Torcida LGBTricolor fan collective, founded in September 2019 with the support of EC Bahia (currently in the second division), has become known for its progressive attitude in recent years. The supporters count only 15 members, a far cry from other massive Brazilian fan groups. However, the fact that they can go to the stadium waving rainbow flags and wearing rainbow T-shirts is no small matter.
In other Brazilian football stadiums, homosexual fans are forced to fly under the radar to avoid homophobic chants, insults, hostile looks, and even assaults. (Photo by RAFAELA ARAUJO / AFP)
