Vôlei Futuro, the club of Brazilian volleyball player Michael Souza, showed their support after his return to the court after receiving homophobic abuse from an opposing team in a recent match. Following that match, Michael came out. In this latest match, fans waved pink balloons bearing Michael's name, and displayed a banner saying: "Vôlei Futuro against prejudice" and tshirts with the message: "Prejudice is the worst violence".
Bravo to Michael, and bravo to the fans of his club!
Thanks to our friends from CDG Brasil for keeping us informed on this story!
