Cleverly, a member of the ruling Conservative party, said on LBC Radio that he has spoken to Qatari authorities about how gay fans will be treated. He said the Qatari authorities are aware “they are going to have to make some compromises” with regard to their “very different set of cultural norms.”

So far as I can tell, the Woke hierarchy is:

1. Muslim
2. Transgender
3. Gay
4. Women

Hard to land them in the Persian Gulf from the roof of a tall building.

The message is pretty clear and commonsensical. Don't thrust you gayness in the faces of the local, so, back off the PDA (which is not wanted in most Muslim countries period), etc..

That being said, there are likely will be some LGBTQ crusaders who can't resist trying to make a point in another country.

I was just searching Doha on Google, and there’s a Catholic Church in downtown Doha.

I was quite surprised...

Probably not. If something extreme were to happen to this sort of fans, it would cause Qatar too much trouble. Too many Western reporters are there and FIFA could very well cancel the whole World Cup. On the other hand, if they are too provocative, they will be detained and deported.

When one goes to another country, they should understand and respect their laws and cultures.

By respect I mean abide. The Dude abides…

I don’t like straight PDA let alone gay PDA.

They’ll be respectful of the muslims, but if a native British Christian objects to the alphabet people, the bobbies will arrest them.

Perfect example of how tolerance only ever goes one way in the liberal world.
