Jesús Tomillero, the first openly gay football referee in Spain, who quit last May because of homophobic abuse from fans, changed his mind and returned to work....

The game was stopped and the man was removed but he managed to get back in and shout “You f**king faggot” at Tomillero.

Following the match – his second since returning – the referee started getting death threats on social media. “You son of a bitch. You messed with the club. We’ll kill you with AIDS, you faggot,” read one.

Another message, featuring a photograph of a handgun and bullets, said: “Not long left to live, faggot.”

1. That's horrible.

I hope he stays safe.

It is interesting how there are issues on which the US has been WAY more progressive than Europe. Homosexuality, smoking bans, handicapped access, etc.
