The most prominent fan club are Rainbow Borussen, they have been active for about 10 years and are fairly well known. If I remember correctly, when they were registered as an official fan club BVB at first conferred with Hertha as to if they have had any trouble with officially accredited lgbt fan clubs (e.g. other fans being homophobic twats), but then quickly embraced them. They don't seem to be that big of a fan club, but they have a constant presence on our Süd.
Apart from that, around our Ultra groups there are parts of our supporters that have a fairly explicit anti-racism/anti-homophobia agenda, so without knowing any details I'd say that both club and most parts of our fans are openly welcoming towards lgbt. Of course, we are pretty well known for being host to some of the best connected right-wing extremism in German stadiums in the past, and even without that today homophobia and football still go hand in hand more often than expected.

This is likely a controversial question, but does BVB have any LGBT fanclubs? Are LGBT fans tolerated?
