Biggest mistake fifa ever made was to host a world cup in a arab country , football fans/hooligans are going to hate not being able to access alcohol...

Would love to see a full stadium all whip out their gay pride colors....

I have nothing against the LGBT community, but I feel that "when in Rome do as the Romans do", even if it is an international event, if the host country's culture prohibits it, why pushes their buttons on purpose in public just to show that your country offers you a higher degree of freedom and does things differently.

You know it's the reverse as well? We're trying to live our life and we're being bombarded by hate and bullshit. Hell, we've even been persecuted and killed just for existing.

These snowflakes feel persecuted by the possibility of one day having to address someone by their preferred pronoun, or watch a gay character in a tv show. Their ancestors fought in wars and built nations, they're whining about persecution on the internet.

Homosexuals in arab country suffering > their suffering having to read pink news on a forum

Why would you want to carry around a rainbow flag to a football match anyway?
Must everything, everywhere be made political all the time?

I don't get it.
There shouldn't be a ban, but there shouldn't be gay flags at a football match in the first place.

If everything and everyone must be equal all the time, why are nudists not allowed at a football match?
Now that's discrimination.
You obviously never been an oppressed minority!

Sorry, but there is nowhere in that region of the world that I will willingly travel to... for tourism or whatever.
I know there are maybe some nice people there.
But for the most part they are just absolute hellholes.

I wouldn't fly a gay pride flag anywhere let alone at a football match, but I respect the right of others to do so should they wish. Personal liberty is important.

Say that at a restaurant with a group of old nudist men sitting at the table next to you.

Seems your argument comes down to nudists. I don't ever remember reading about the suffering of nudists at the hands of religious and/or national authorities.

Why would somebody want to stone someone or jail somebody else anyway?
Why must everything, everywhere be religious all the time?

Because people are still getting murdered because of their sexual preferences.
Because of places like Qatar

What politics ? Its about human rights. The fact that someone walking in with a rainbow on their shirt might end up in jail is enough of a reason to "get it"

WTF are you on about?

Why wouldn't they have access to alcohol?
Alot of European football Stadiums don't allow alcohol in the stands so not much of a change.

Will be fan parks outside for this.
