Because soccer isn't gay, but once in awhile it kinda is.

Soccer Ally May: Montreal Impact
05/14/12
It was great to be on the road late Friday afternoon and see two more Chicago Fire players join the Allies List. Today we hit the halfway mark of the month with nearly 30 new Major League Soccer players signing on.
This week we wrap up the teams that, like the Fire before Friday, start the month with only one ally. The Montreal Impact are the next team and their lone player on the list is Justin Braun, who participated in the NOH8 Campaign as part of last year’s Equality Night put on by Chivas USA. Thank you Justin!
So please help us get more players from Major League Soccer’s newest team to join the list. Tweet at the guys below and ask them to become a #soccerally and include that tag or our handle (@gay4soccer) in the Tweets. Let’s keep the ball rolling!

Week two has wrapped up for Major League Soccer, and here are a few of our favorite moments on and off the field, as well as abroad:
The Chair of Britain’s Gay Football Supporters Network Chris Basiurski will be one of the final torchbearers in the London 2012 relay this summer, carrying the torch through two of the capital’s boroughs the day before the Games’ Opening Ceremonies.
Our ally Andrew Wiebe was one of the Major League Soccer staffers at the Montreal Impact’s first home game at Olympic Stadium this weekend. He gives a great report back on the atmosphere for their home debut and the record-breaking crowd.
Finally, this video has been seen by everybody, including myself multiple times, but it will always bring a smile to my face:
Rachna’s Soccer Valentine

Zarek Valentin
defender, Montreal Impact
Why is he Rachna’s Soccer Valentine? He’s the perfect package! Funny, cute, great soccer player, style and swag. If you’ve seen his Generation Adidas video blogs or listened to his podcasts on U.S. Soccer, you’ll really see just how personable he is. How can you not want him as your VALENTIN?!
What would their Soccer Valentine date be? I’m not picky, but since Titanic is his favorite movie, maybe watching that whilst eating Oreos.

Today’s news was filled with homecomings in Major League Soccer:
The deal for Brian Ching to return to the Houston Dynamo from the Montreal Impact who picked him up in the Expansion Draft came to pass.
After a stint in Europe, former USMNT striker Eddie Johnson will be making a return to MLS. The league allocation process for Johnson will take place tomorrow.
Finally, it’s rumored that the Vancouver Whitecaps have an interest in bringing Soccer Ally and USMNT captain Carlos Bocanegra back to MLS. Bocanegra is one of several Americans playing for SPL’s financially struggling Rangers FC.
