#KissBigotryGoodbye is a collaboration between Nil by Mouth and students from City of Glasgow College who won a competition organised by the charity to create a campaign highlighting the positives of being a football fan in Scotland.
To take part all you have to do is take a photo with the person, place or thing which makes you love football. This can be the coach of your first school team, the five a side pitch you play on, the supporters bus you travel on, someone who volunteers at your local club, a time you met one of your favourite footballers or managers or the seat in the ground you’ve sat on for 15 years. If you want to convey the emotions involved what about: a photo of your team celebrating a victory, the tensions of a penalty shoot out or if you enjoy the rivalry between sides why not have a photo enjoying a drink with a fan from another club? It’s entirely up to you!
Then simply post the photo on twitter or facebook using the hashtag #KissBigotryGoodbye. You can follow NBM on Twitter at @NBMScotland.
