He is, as everybody is, entitled to their opinion. His beliefs are based in his religion, so he's doing nothing wrong using "theological positions".
That said, I don't agree whatsoever but this isn't remotely shocking considering the World Cup was given to a country where homosexuality is a criminal offence, and punishable by the death penalty if you're muslim - although I don't believe it has ever come to that.
Sure is a shame that people can't just leave each other to it, even if it is bumming or worshipping a different beardy man
Clearly knows nothing about nature so whys he commenting on it like he does?

This! đ
Spot on fella, doubt very much their culture will change!
I’ll be interested to hear what FIFA think about this.
I realise he's saying that because it's his religion but it is a really poor take IMO.
Lots of pressure groups are condemning the premier league for allowing the Saudi takeover of Newcastle based on things like their stance on LGBT people, but nobody seemed bothered about city's takeover in 2008.
Looks like it's only just become an issue for the game (about time it did, really)
Saying it's against human nature is stupid anyway because humans are actually homosexual.

*because of his interpretation of his religion.
There are also Muslims and Islamic organisations which consider homosexuality as natural, either regarding Qur'anic verses as anachronistic and obsolete, or stating that the Qu'ran only condemns homosexual lust but is silent on homosexual love.
It’s also only really the modern Islamic world which has turned so significantly against homosexuality and homosexual acts. Many pre-modern Islamic societies were actually very tolerant indeed of homosexuals (arguably moreso than some parts of Europe at the time).

How is football not trying to be inclusive?
You can watch a lot more female football for free than the males game.

This, live and let live. There is a line though.
Today the EU announced comments like “Ladies and Gentlemen” and “man made” are not gender inclusive and shouldn’t use used.
Worlds going mental, everybody being offended on peoples behalves.

Apparently so. They were talking about it on the Guardian Football Weekly podcast a few weeks back and Max Rushden (I think) said they wanted to be notified of any protests planned by fans of rival clubs but wouldn't be participating

They are, it's been a junior football condition of getting an FA charter for years that you have to have a certain number of girls teams at your club. The work that's been done on that side of the game is terrific, and really starting to pay off.
I'd say the campaigns against racism and homophobia are works in progress though.
merry, embarrassing really. Though I guess it shows just how much Geordies care about their football club.
