Head of security at 2022 Qatar world cup says LGBTQ+ paraphernalia will not be allowed in stadium
Abdullah Al Nasari, the Head of Security at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, has told members of the LGBTQ+ community not to come to the stadium with rainbow flags or any other paraphernalia.
According to him, any rainbow item identified in the stadium will be collected.
According to Abdullah Al Nasari, this is not to offend the LGBTQ+ community but rather to protect them from others who may not tolerate their ways and thus, incite violence.
“If a fan raises a flag (rainbow) in a stadium and it is taken away, it will not be because we want to offend him, but to protect him. If we don’t, another spectator could attack him.”
Abdullah Al Nasari stressed that “if you buy a ticket, it is to attend a football match and not to demonstrate.”
Abdullah Al Nasari further explained that Qatar is an Islamic state and does not believe in the ideals of the LGBTQ” community. It will therefore, not change its religion to accommodate such actions due to the World Cup.
”Do not come and insult an entire society. We will not change the religion for the 28 days,” he concluded.
He however, advised LGBTQ+ persons to express their views in a society where it will be totally accepted.
