Beerwah Glasshouse Football Club prides itself on inclusivity
The BeeGees Football Club’s annual pride round wrapped up on Wednesday, June 4, with the Premier and U23s Women playing in specially designed rainbow jerseys.
This is the club’s third Pride Round, and this year they played against Nambour Yandina United (NYU) wearing newly designed jerseys to pay homage to the LGBTQ+ community.
BeeGees Premier Women’s coach, Amy Higgins, said she was proud the club continues to celebrate Pride.
“It is so important to keep talking about Pride and what it stands for, or we can never expect to see any change,” she said.
“It is important for our community, and our players to know that the club is inclusive, safe, and supportive no matter who you are.”
BeeGees Club president, Amanda Milburn, reiterated the significance of creating inclusivity at the BeeGees.
“It’s important that all of our players feel included at our club, and this gives us the opportunity to show our support,” she said.
“Holding the Pride round shows our commitment to diversity, inclusion and respect for all.”
A BeeGees spokesperson said Pride Round is not just about football, it’s about creating a safe, supportive space.
“At BeeGees, we’re proud to foster a club culture where diversity is celebrated and every member of our community can belong,” they said.
“Thanks to NYU for joining us for another spirited match-up, and to everyone who came out to support.”
The BeeGees Premier Women won their game 1–0, while the U23s Women had a close 3–3 draw.
