This Monday, November 28, a new sports meeting took place between Portugal vs Uruguay. The match was very close, but one man managed to captivate the attention of viewers worldwide when the 51st minute was played.
This young man managed to cross the barriers and ran across the field of the Lusail Stadium with the LGBT community flag. This event surprised all the attendees who were at the sports venue. His presence on the field was minimal, as the security members managed to stop him in the act and minimize him.
However, this man made thousands of people aware of the message written on his polo. "Save Ukraine," "Respect for Iranian women," are the phrases that can be read on the blue sweatshirt with the Superman logo that the subject was wearing.
The Asian country will not impose jail terms on people who display the LGBT collective flag during the World Cup. It should be noted that Qatar is one of the 70 countries in the world that considers non-traditional sexual orientation a crime.
The Penal Code in this country classifies relationships between men as a punishable offense with up to 7 years in prison. Additionally, if the person is Muslim, the sentence could involve the death penalty, due to Sharia or Islamic law.
Some media outlets reported that there are anti-LGBT hotels in Qatar, as access and stay are denied to individuals with a different sexual orientation from those established in the Asian country.
Daily Mail, a news portal, conducted a report in which its journalists pretended to be homosexual couples to book a room. The results were surprising, as they failed to obtain rooms in 33 accommodations, despite being establishments registered on a FIFA-approved website.
