used to be the same in te west

a room for "Mr & Mrs Smith" please

when travelling to other countries with different culture to your own, it is wise and polite to be respectful. common human curtesy.

if you feel you cannot or wish not to change your behavior then, maybe you should not visit.

How about a degree of tolerance of other people in the other direction? Common human courtesy?

What size slice of humble pie does Kash want?

I've not been to Qatar but can only share my experience. Maybe the hotels I stayed also had this in the blueprint to appease local law but at no point was I asked to provide evidence of marriage and that's when I was unmarried too. Managed to get a room no problem

You called me a liar and said I made it up.

Did I make it up? or were you just plainly wrong

Do you think it will extend to gay people who wish to share a hotel room?

Well it is as I referred to at the time as "bull". A few examples from your google search here and there doesn't change the fact that you claimed it was a lot of Muslim countries.

The gaays will never get out of the airport.

I wonder if one of the tests would be to play YMCA at the airport to new arrivals and see which ones dance

A whole culture (of intolerance)?

That's the bit that I object to. The bit I am ironically intolerant of.

By the by forza, if you are a non-alcoholic married gay couple I think you'd have trouble sharing a room.

It is the law in a lot of muslim countries,whether they apply the law is a different matter.
Have a look at how many muslim countries have this as a matter of law.

BTW Turkey was a secular country until the last elections when a muslim led party won the election and there's been sporadic trouble since

Not sure if you was g'ay why you want to travel to countries where it is forbidden but during the world cup they have assured g'ays they will be welcomed as long as they respect local traditions.

The world will be watching them if two men are arrested for holding hands etc then they will deserve the criticism and backlash.

This article has gone to the same places it always goes which is sad.

People thinking it's an attack on Islam when it's really not. It's an attack on a decision to award a country that is doing very little to stop thousands of innocent workers from being worked to death to build this world cup.

Can people please stop making this out to be about religion when it's really not.

Thing is Forza is you've gone with 'culture' and 'tradition' as the defence for attitudes, and in my mind common decency should really transcend these. The live and let live ideology.

In the same way as 'perhaps all the people who are outraged shouldn't go', maybe 'perhaps Qatar shouldn't offer to host such a huge international event if they don't feel as a country they can be accomodating to big chunks of the global population'

This is your typical British scaremongering:

In SA men were likely to get mugged and women were going to get gang raped. Never occurred.

In Ukraine/Poland if you was black you were to come back in a body bag because they are supposedly very racist there.

In Brazil the stadiums will collapse and civil war will start.

Now we have Qatar and the book is wide open. It's open season when it comes to scaremongering.
