Bigoted views deserve to be called out.

Bigoted according a minority. Majority of the Worldham always been and are against homosexuality. Tell how many African countries have legalised homosexuality?

Those countries in the world that have legalised it, were their views bigoted until then?

Very good reasons to criticise Qatar, better reasons than most. And it should go without saying that primitive fairy worship is not a valid excuse for any sort of evil behaviour whether at home or abroad.

Yes

As for those who criticise Qatar for poor labour conditions and workers rights, what do you have to say about Dubai and the rest of the UAE?

They should never have got the tournament for footballing reasons alone

I find with stuff like this if you substitute the country in question with that of N@zi Germany, and substitute the people with Jews, would you be comfortable with it?

Is this clown OP serious or some terrible wum?

I agree with Robb for once....

Let's be honest it's a disgrace that football, a liberal game that is welcoming (in principle) to anyone, is being played in a country that deems gay people 'mental deviants' like they're some kind of sub-species.

Not to mention the migrant workers who have died, as well as the way they treat women. It's a disgrace to have a tournament there. Where next, North Korea??

Culer says NO!!!

So what you’re saying OP is live and let live?

Pity the qatari’s can’t

I'd say exactly the same thing about *any* authoritarian state that runs its society based on an imported serving class that lacks the same protections and rights as the elite, and turns a blind eye to its inevitable exploitation and abuses.

This

If the west are so anti Qatar and anti those who are against homosexuality then they should stop doing trade with them. Stop trade with Saudi, Qatar and all those countries who haven't legalised homosexuality .

What are your views on homosexuality? If your son came out as gay would you disown him?

You seem to be fixated on homosexuality and blatantly ignoring the other valid reasons why the Qatari regime should be criticised.

You've literally just described every country or society itself

Hi Yorkshire Red

Do you have a problem with homosexuality?

Maybe so, but it doesn't make it right or immune from criticism

I guess in some sick way, that's what the OP is trying to say. What makes one worse than the other?

The west also don’t have a moral leg to stand on, it’s populous just close their eyes to the endless war crimes being committed. The endless bombing and killing of children and women and rape and torture. The endless corruption and starting of wars to sell their weapons etc etc
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No one’s deny that but this is about Qatar specifically

Whataboutery doesn’t detract from the very real issue that in 2022 homosexuals should feel safe and have equal rights in any country they choose to visit.
