The man in charge of Saudi Arabia’s bid to host the men’s football World Cup in 2034 has said LGBTQ+ fans will be “welcome” in the country, despite anti-gay laws.

    “You are welcome, just don’t be gay while you are here. Enjoy our beautiful country and observe the penalties for not doing so respectfully.”

    “We welcome international tourist money, don’t worry; we’ll only execute those in our own country too poor to avoid the law.”

    I feel like we need to start boycotting sportswashing by asshole countries.

    LGBTQ+ are welcome now. There was some question if they would be able to hire enough executioners to cover the event, but Chick-Fil-A stepped up and helped out with a donation.

    No sympathy for any gay person who goes and gets caught. Don’t be fucking stupid.

      There’s “don’t be fucking stupid,” and also “don’t send tourist dollars to a country that cheers their deaths,” as well as “don’t legitimize this host-country choice by FIFA.”

    I’d believe that LGBTQ+ fans are allowed in Saudi Arabia the day Hell freezes over. I have an easier time believing all the multi-billion dollar international companies around the world are going to disband of their own free will and give people the equivalent of $2 million USD.

    So question: How do you even get caught? Do they like have to catch you railing another guy or what?

    Can’t wait to see presidents and prime ministers of all our „woke” countries on the tribune.
