FIFA Sepp Blatter, Head Sparks Controversy Gay Qatar

By
President Joseph Blatter said that gay fans of the World Cup 2022 in Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal, should "abstain from sexual" activity. FIFA When asked if he thought in cultural issues, Blatter, apparently joking, said: "I would say they [the fans gays] should refrain from having sex." Then, speaking seriously, he said he was sure there would be no problems.

Gay rights groups, already unhappy at the tournament site is the choice that he should apologize or resign. Former basketball star John Amaechi is one of the highest profile athletes of gays in 2007.

"This is not about people having sex in public, and the punishment is concerned, it is a fact that Qatar is one of the 79 countries implementing the State sanction gay United Nations.

"One of the first things you notice is that it's actually an insult to the age of seven students say that their reactions, the laughter of adult males, sports journalists and members of FIFA on this issue, when asked a question very simple and reasonable, given the concerns about Qatar, the entire room burst into laughter.

"You must understand that this story is big enough, its influence is large enough to influence young people in school, people at work, someone who is perceived as gays or homosexuals, to hear these comments and again realize that the seat of power, usually straight white men are very, very clearly at ease with this issue and certainly not interested in taking it seriously. "

Qatar was the surprise winner of the race to host the World Cup 2022, beating Australia, Japan, South Korea and the United States, when the 22 man FIFA executive committee voted for them in Zurich on December 2. Fifa has now become the subject of criticism after the decision to take the World Cup in the Middle East for the first time.

Concerns were expressed about the tournament during the summer months in a country where temperatures can reach -40 ° C to 50 ° C, whereas the current legislation means that the consumption of alcohol in public is prohibited. Gay groups are also concerned about the acceptance of gay fans and gay Football Supporters' Network (GFSN) said Blatter comments show the naivety of anti-gay discrimination, and must either apologize or resign.

"Many [lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender] LGBT people live in countries where they would be executed or imprisoned, if discovered, these people deserve our support, our respect and support," said Chris GFSN Basiurski president.

"They are like the rest of us do not deserve to be ridiculous. Blatter should withdraw his words and apologize immediately. Otherwise, it should reconsider its position and his resignation." Blatter is naive to think that, taking the sport in Qatar, put an end to discrimination in the Middle East.

But Blatter does not foresee any difficulties, saying: "You see in the Middle East the opening of this culture, it's another culture because it's another religion, but in football we have no boundaries.
