Column Vivianne Miedema | Don't you like that I like women: fine, but then I don't have time for you

Vivianne Miedema sees that there is still a huge difference between men's and women's football when it comes to gay acceptance. She is therefore disappointed that Feyenoord player Orkun Kökçü decided not to wear the special OneLove bracelet. When I got into a relationship with a woman, I told my family and friends about it pretty quickly. I've been open about that and it's never been a struggle for me. Because my environment has always accepted me as I am. My grandfather and grandmother in Drenthe, for example, from a different generation, have always held me in their arms. That has been a good thing for me, because I know very well that something like this cannot be taken for granted.

I am grateful for that. Though that's not the right word. In fact, gay acceptance should be the most natural thing in the world. I've been pretty clear about it from the start. If you don't like that I'm into women, fine, but then I don't have time for you.

But I'm not naive. I know that it is not easy for many boys and girls to be themselves. It's not an issue in women's football. It is the most normal thing in the world there, just as you would want it everywhere. I would prefer to live in a world where it is not necessary to wear any band at all to show that everyone is equal.

We don't live in that world. And if I'm gone in sixty years, the ideal world probably still doesn't exist. This is not a matter of months, but of generations. You don't snap your fingers and everyone accepts each other. That is why we as a football world must continue to draw attention to the fact that everyone can be who he or she is. Orientation, religion, race. Exactly what the OneLove campaign is for.

I am therefore disappointed that Orkun Kökçü did not want to wear that special captain's armband. I understand that it was quite a difficult situation for him, given his Islamic background. But he could also have embraced the bigger message. He can be proud that as a Turkish Dutchman he is the captain of Feyenoord, a club with such an impact. He is also not your standard Dutch boy next door and yet he is, rightly, appreciated for what he does. OneLove should therefore also be close to his heart.

The reality is that when it comes to accepting others, people are stuck with their beliefs or other values ​​they grew up with. You can't even blame a lot of people for that, sometimes they don't know any better. But I do see it as the task of our influential football world to make people think about this continuously.

Fortunately, many people who are open-minded work in women's football. Everyone is valued. In men's football, that seems to be more difficult. A culture has developed there where it is not okay if you do not fit into a certain box. Hector Bellerin played at my club Arsenal, now playing for FC Barcelona. In addition to football, he is involved in fashion. That's always crazy to look at. This also applies to players who, for example, are committed to a better environment.

Be who you are, do what you like. All this is not self-evident. It's a matter of the long haul. That is why it is a pity that the KNVB has canceled the following action after the fuss of last week . We need to keep talking about this topic. Being able to write about this theme is a great thing.

May we pretty please have Sarina Wiegman back as our coach? We need her, please and thank you.
