#92One night stands are not illegal in Arabic law, there are even prostitutes. In theory you get married just before and divorce just after the act. In practise anything sexual is forbidden in public. And some hotels may deny accommodation to unmarried couples. But going out in typical "pride" outfit is insensitive and propably bad idea. Like wearing SS uniform in Germany.
What horrors similar to the Nazi's have homosexuals committed to earn a sensitive response im Qatar?
Ask prophet. I just want to deter some activists from getting into troubles.

#93Interesting that with something as big as football, the organisers can get away with a lot of bad taste decisions. They can host wherever they want and they will be guaranteed a sufficient turnout thanks to the absolute massiveness of the fanbase. Woman's rights or workers rights in a faraway country? Fat load of nothing issues for many who want to see their country in the semis.
FIFA is one of the most corrupt organizations in the world so it is hardly a surprise. Anything is for sale. It is widely documented. Here is an OK starting point, if you want to dig deeper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_FIFA_corruption_case
FIFA can only operate this way as long as the country organizations tolerate it, it’s interesting how something like sports that is commonly considered as representing a country is so massively corrupt and everybody is ok with it (and I’m thinking of the big sponsors, where you probably have massive background checks to get hired, but it’s alright to invest in such organizations)

The far more important question is why our authorities have been totally willing to subject potentially countless of our citizens to arbitrary and unlawful imprisonment?
Every games for fairly obvious reasons has been shagtastic.
We shouldn't go.
Edit"countless" because you might not need to count just assume everyone single will be arrested. I don't dare look up their laws pertaining to LGBTQ+ folks.
Edit2: add in installed NSO and other deep inspection wares plus terrorist motivations internally against their state (for much the same objections natch) and we're going through'72 again.

Why on earth do some people think it’s okay to include USA with countries like Qatar? USA isn’t perfect, but being gay isn’t punishable by jail time here.
> USA isn’t perfect, but being gay isn’t punishable by jail time here. Well, not since 2003, at least. For now.
Were they sending gay people to jail in the USA pre 2003?

> It's their culture, their country, do we have a moral right to say country barbaric for their cultural norms they accepted for hundreds of years?
Cultural norms end where other people's human rights start.

#97The title downplays this a lot. The first sentence in the article reads "Any extramarital sexual encounter (...) could result in a seven-year jail sentence." That usually means any sexual relation outside of marriage is forbidden, even between life partners.
I wonder how they would verify that with foreigners, especially those with a history of poor record-keeping. I surmise that there must be at least a couple of countries where a marriage certificate is nothing more than a plain sheet of copy paper with something along the lines of "I hereby declare that X and Y are married" in their local legalese. Although I can't help but snicker at the image of a bunch of poor cops…

Aside from using something other than “copy paper” and added ornamentation, this could describe all of my US legal documents including my marriage and birth certificates.

#98In Qatar drinking alcohol in public is not allowed and being drunk in public is a crime.

#99it's disgusting to organize public, worldwide events in barbaric countries.
Interesting interview on the radio here in the UK a few weeks ago with a famous climber who went to Saudi Arabia I think to compete after much moral deliberation. He did say that every native he spoke to was very grateful for his attendance, people travelling and participating in these sorts of events is an effective way to bring change and open peoples eyes, mainly through his insistence there were female climbers c…
Well, pardon me for pointing out, but he really should be talking to the people who aren't available to him to meet. The workers, slaves, people in jails. I'm sure they would have a slightly different opinion.
Availability bias at its most obvious.

As there's no such thing as "life partners" in sharia law.
