Gay help for Becks
ENGLAND’S football stars will get extra support in Euro 2004 — from Croatia’s GAY population.
They are outraged after Croatian national coach Otto Baric said he would never pick a homosexual.
And gay groups vowed to back David Beckham’s England boys when the teams play in Lisbon, Portugal, on June 21.
Baric, 71, said in an interview: “There is no place for homosexuals in my team. Homosexuality is not good.”
Gay rights spokesman Anto Tomcic said: “We want Croatian football chiefs to do something.”
He added they chose England due to the country’s gay rights record.
