Daniel Wiithaus joined an excited throng of over 150 LGBTI and AFL folk at Herbert Smith Freehills to hear from Essendon player Brendon Goddard and Essendon’s CEO, Xavier Campbell to celebrate the birth of the second LGBTI inclusive fan club within AFL footy.

Driven from the start by Purple Bombers President, Jason Tuazon-McCheyne, those gathered heard about his love of the Essendon Football Club, his experiences of homophobia and his vision of the AFL eventually becoming the national game for all people, equally.

Daniel was interviewed by JOY94.9FM’s Dean Beck about the importance of groups like the Purple Bombers, as part of Dean’s broader look at the event: DeanBeckJOY94.9FM
