Qatar Will Jail Spectators Who Raise LGBT Flags At The 2022 World Cup, Really?

[ShaunSA]

Jail? Can't they just stone them instead?

 

[Grant]

I see no use for the LGBT flag - no LGBT teams are playing.
May as well be waving Lesotho's flag.

Hopefully common sense will prevail.

Hopefully the common sense you are referring to is that discrimination is bad and unacceptable in our modern society.

 

[ShaunSA]

Oh well. Like someone said, "their house their rules."
In reality I doubt they'll be arresting people unless people actually throw it in their face.

Yep. Didn't get the hoo haa when Aussieville threw Novax out. Same thing really.

It's a desert. What stones? Pretty sure they can't sand them.

Maybe it's a rocky desert

I think it would be more for a form of protest.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Absolutely. If people really wanted to prove a point, they shouldn't even support or go to the World Cup. Those stadiums were even built by foreign slave labour contractors.

100% agreed, the best way people can deal with this is make it a monumental financial failure for Qatar by just not rocking up, and not watching the matches on TV... but we know neither of those will happen so people should find other ways of "protesting" and if that means waving LGBT flags at matches to raise the ire of the backwards twats in charge then by all means.

 

[WizardOfAges]

As expected, the MyBigotband coming out of the woodwork.

 

[3WA]

If I were a woman, I wouldn't want to live there either.

Or a camel…

I do have a question, why do you want to go and have this protest in Qatar?

 

[Nineteeneightysix]

Their country, their rules.

Not me. I was referring to people that would want to do it.

There was something like 17mil ticket requests. Even Dubai is planning for influx of people, Qatar just doesn't have the space for everyone.

I have already seen news of multiple fan parks around Dubai.

I rate it's going to be insane.

Aren't some players gay ?

Its done now but FIFA should not have given them the WC

Eric Cantona is right. I hope I wont watch it as well.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Why would they want to go and do it in Qatar, and why are those who aren't upset about it?

Is it?. He lied on his Visa App..


BTW - I think their rules were silly... but it isnt the same

 

[WizardOfAges]

Their country, their rules.

So, take our little old country as an example. South Africa had Apartheid. Did the world just accept it and shrug it off with "Their country, their rules."? No. Evil triumphs when good people do nothing.
