LGBT football fans told to be respectful at Qatar World Cup

LGBT football fans who attend the World Cup in Qatar should show “a little bit of flex and compromise”, Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has said.

Speaking to LBC on Wednesday, he told fans travelling from England and Wales to be “respectful of the host nation”, where same-sex activity is illegal.

He added that “there should be flex and compromise at both ends” during the tournament, which starts in November.

Labour has called Mr Cleverly’s remarks “shockingly tone-deaf”.

In a separate interview with Sky News, the foreign secretary reiterated his message when asked how the government was pushing for LGBT equality in Qatar.
