British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly on LGBTQ football fans travelling to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar:
"One of the things I'd say to football fans is please do be respectful of the host nation. They're trying to ensure that people can be themselves and enjoy the football... I think with a little bit of flex and compromise at both ends, it can be a safe and secure World Cup."
This is the answer by former football player Gary Lineker: "Whatever you do, don’t do anything Gay. Is that the message?"
In Qatar, same-sex relationships can be punished with the death penalty under Sharia law.
Shame on you James Cleverly!!
Thank you Gary
Thank you Peter
Yes, and his boss, new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, immediately expressed support for the LGBTQ community and told him to keep his mouth shut. Cleverly was in the job as Foreign Secretary when Rishi took over this week. Let me also point out that 30 of the 375 Conservative Members of Parliament at last count including several Cabinet Secretaries are openly members of the LGBTQ community and are appalled at this backwards remark.
