I feel like I am writing history now (smug).
Someone (somecorruptone) decided to take the Football World Cup to Qatar, a country known by their open views of the western culture. Now seems they got into trouble because Qatar is not open to the western culture, if anything they want to finish western culture and spread the Quran based laws to the Occident, but I might be wrong.
So apart from forbidding beer in stadiums and getting FIFA in what might be a major breach of contract with Budweiser, which to be honest it's not really beer and they could argue that and keep selling this sort of refined piss, it is forbidden that the players wear a band supporting the "Alphabet Community". What else would we expect from a country that is so open that homosexual relations are forbidden and punished by law (the same law they want to expand to western Europe).
I am not that much of a supporter of what I call the 'ideology of gay rights', as long as everyone regardless of their sexuality has the same rights as everyone else and is treated with respect. And the same applies to all people, despite colour, gender or religion (well religion still triggers something in me, mostly if involves following the Quran).
What I mean is that I don't feel the urge to come to the street and join a gay pride, but I assume that I am not interfering with someone's rights just because their sexuality. Thinking that someone can go to jail, or be executed just because they are gay is something that I can't even make sense of.
Kudus to the German team and the German Foreign Affairs Minister who sat next to the FIFA president wearing a OneLove band. And the team had a rainbow flag on their shoes. World Cup 2022 champions in my eyes.
