Gay soccer league uses sexy pics to fight homophobia, raise cash

Yummy! Downtown Soccer Toronto is committed to fighting homophobia in sport. As part of their new fundraising effort, they released a sexy calendar, and a portion of the proceeds ($2 from each of the $20 calendars) goes to The Justin Campaign.

Downtown Soccer Toronto is a co-ed soccer league for gay, lesbian, bi, trans and queer-friendly Torontonians.

In February, the Brighton UK-based Justin Campaign launched its first Football vs Homophobia Initiative, an international day to fight homophobia in soccer.
