The Timbers Army unveiled a three-panel tifo with the message, "Love Is a Human Experience, Not a Political Statement," along with a banner that read "Love Conquers Fear" on Sunday afternoon, ahead of the Portland Timbers' match against the Houston Dynamo.

The center panel was a heart with two crossed axes, part of the Timbers iconography.

The type and the symbol on the tifo were set against a rainbow background, reflecting June's month-long gay pride celebrations around the world and the United States.

The banner's words were set against a purple background, perhaps a nod to the recent tragedy in Orlando, Fla., where 49 people were massacred at a gay club.

Take a look.
