The World Cup is well underway in Qatar, but issues surrounding LGBTQ+ rights for the Gulf state, world soccer governing body
referred CNN to the tournament handbook, which states “expats and tourists are free to wear the clothing of their choice, as long as it is modest and respectful to the culture.” After some Wales fans were also denied entry into stadiums for wearing rainbow-colored bucket hats on Monday, the Welsh Football Association said
’s rules and regulations and what is happening on the ground at Qatar 2022. CNN reached out to President Gianni Infantino sitting close by during her country’s 2-1 defeat against Japan. Since the World Cup kicked off,
What a pity
We can understand it as is supporting illegal behavior…
Oppressive, atrocious country. Violating human rights is not culture
Don't choose any such country to host a mega event like FIFA ..huge mistake..
Why can't CNN concentrate on Soccar instead of side issues that don't even relate to the good game ? My advice to them is , they can continue with war mongering elsewhere.. SHAME on CNN..
Other countries banning hijab is not a problem. When others choose what to ban is when it becomes a problem. 🤔
What did you expect?
Ok.
Wearing Hijab banned in some parts of Europe. Rainbow colours not allowed in Qatar. Equaliser.
Keep pushing your gay shit in a Muslim country... See how it turns out.
But they were there to play ....what a show of useless .... If one wants to make a statement for this, then say loud I won't participate. The rest is use of precious oxygen...
They should be careful if they ever Travel to the U.S it's because it's much more dangerous to wear those Colours.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
229 billion dollar and no beer or Love allowed.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you Qatar 💯💯👍🏽
It sounds better
Please don’t be influenced by the new games of the Islamic republic .Islamic republic does everything for deny his crimes against the Iranian nation .they kill our children by war weapons .our arrested women and girls are raped in the detention centers of the Islamic republic.
the corpses of our arrested students are handed over to us after weeks .they use war weapons to confront the protesting people in the streets while people only use stones to defend themselves. Please listen to the voice of Iranian people. مهسا_امینی
Because of the UN resolution, Iran's regime started demagoguery by its oppressors, giving flowers and sweets to people and dancing and stomping in the street,please don't be fooled. cnn skynews cbsnews foxnews abcnews france24_en UNWatch hrw UNHumanRights UN_HRC UN
People are just stupid 🤦🏻♀️
They should have been arrested, tb hey were warned.
Now they are classifying it as 'rainbow-colored' items so it could make the news, they are not openly claiming to be gay anymore right?
Respect the laws of that country.
Just respect the law...
So?
So. Wear it somewhere else. There are billions that don’t condone the lifestyle. Respect them like you want to be respected.
GOOD
Every country and culture should be respected. Not wearing rainbows isn't a huge deal. After all, people cover their heads when going into mosques, take off their shoes when going into temples, and observe silence in churches don't they?
The west and Europe should learn how to respect other countries laws..Qatar needs to be respected
Good Religious is first 👍🏻
The Islamic Republic is trying to make us look liars in the world by injecting fake news. They give death sentence and then say that there is no execution But the reality is something else, they want us to loose your support SO THAT CAN KILL US IN SILENCE MahsaAmini
The Islamic Republic and its authorities are trying to normalize the situations in iran They have used football and have this opportunity to show the world the normal conditions in the country While we are under the barrage of their bullets . MahsaAmini ..

That's their country and their laws take the front seat. Germany need to sort out racism issues in their country And CNN need to report on USA killing innocent in illegal occupations+ abortion rights in the USA

Stop acting and behaving like children, always trying to impose their will against established and fair rules by the adults and always teasing their parents to rub shoulders against them.
Tweet about the white guy IN AMERICA who shot the gay bar !!! Where is that news ?
There must be a complete investigations.
You agreed to take it off and put it in your pocket and then decided to break the agreement and put it on again. How dishonest is that?
LGBT is a political movement and that has not place in SPORTS. FIFAWorldCup
Corrupt CNN
You are telling us nothing if you think everyone should be a gay (LGBTQ).
Just making a scene, they knew ahead time they were not allowed
Qatar is based
1️⃣We know that Western governments support the rights of homosexuals, not out of love for them, but rather to prevent the Muslim countries of the Middle East from thinking of hosting the World Cup again because they are honorable and do not accept this filth
I worry about getting a result today against Spain rather than your fashion accessories.....
Are these the same Germans who are not allowed to express sympathy for the Palestinian cause?
Good, the disrespectful colonialists should know better
As a conservative, I think this is going too far. People should be able to say what they want. Companies, however, should not be able to use their company as a sounding board.
Respect their rules. Is that hard ?
Good. If you’re visiting another country, respect the local customs.
They shouldn't be telling them, they should be beating them coz they doing this on purpose they were told not to bring this gay thing
leakEpsteinsclientlist
Removing is too lenient, they should have kicked them out. Rules are rules.
Should this be a News?
another great topic from cnn 😂
Yes, you cannot bring that society down with sodomy after you tried everything else
It’s no news this a country who’s rich culture frowns on homosexuals so they should just respect people’s culture n do not push it ..you can b gay or even sleep with animals no one cares but the moment u force it on us and our children that’s where the issue starts
This is ABSURD! I hope Qatar gets the sansons it deserves for this Worldwide censorship! Sure they are the organizors and it's their land but they were the ones that wanted to organize this and cannot censor the world when hosting a worldwide event that is not their own.
The world risks suffering the same fate as the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah (read Genesis 19:24) if everyone condoned LGPT practice.
Qatar has no place in the civilized world.
Why don't people just respect what they ask ,it's there country and there laws ,end of discussion
It’s called football not soccer
Toomaj Salehi is an Iranian rapper that regime is trying to charge him with a crime that carries the death penalty. Be his voice before it is too late. ToomajSalehi توماج_صالحی
Why do people need to announce the kind of sexual behavior they prefer on their clothing? That really should be a private matter…also that’s illegal behavior in Qatar and everyone knew that going into it
In other news, the Pope is still Catholic.
These clowns are seeking attention. They just don’t want LGBTQDHJ promotion in their country, don’t you get it ?
Not true
You know what they need to do in Germany? They need to protest all the raping by single Afghani and Syrian men happening on their own land. Clean up your room first before looking at others
That is in order. How many times do they want to be told not to do that?
Fuck that rainbow
Why must western culture force it’s system on other parts of the world.
Hypocrisy at its best. Demanding respect when can't even respect the rule of the country. Tsk
Why didn’t they do the same thing in Russia 🇷🇺. You only fear a superpower with nuclear ☢️ warheads
I LOVE it!! lol time that the world stood up to the rainbow mafia
Good
Silly rainbow flag. I miss the German flag from the 30s
Good, keep political stuff out of football. Of course there’s going to be lgbtq footballers, but there’s footballers of every background. At some point we need to ditch the rainbow if we want true inclusion. The teams are representing their nation, not just themselves.
Qatar and Russia the best countries at there
good work by the security
And this journalism at their finest hour. Ha
That’s why it don’t rain in this place Qatar “birds don’t even give a shit place” 😂 🌈 forget about it. 🍺 forever.
🇷🇺 🚀 👨❤️👨😉👩❤️👩💣 💥
I rather they cared about women rights .
They should be deported. Total disrespect.
Countries like this should NEVER allowed to host international sports. Who cares what people do in their private lives, yes people in countries like this. They should be fixing their countries and stop it.
Again the World Cup match event is not a political arena the Germans were let go on condition that they put the rainbow-colored items in their pockets
Could of just stayed home in protest
Good.
Know that some of your values are disgusting. CNN promotes homosexuality and a good proportion of its Journalists are themselves homosexuals. Would you please keep your filth at your home
You all know it's banned. Why still wear them then? Dorks.
When in Rome
Why the fuck would they do that? This Qatar president is putting out a shitty rules.. How would you expect all the whole people coming from different part of the world to watch world Cup to adapt with your rules?
I respect all living beings, humans and animals, at the same time I will raise my children to identify what is wrong and what is right in this world, according to my views and culture. It is my right & duty to protect my children. Do not force your views on others.
Are they hosting a football tournament or a sex fest? If you want to advocate for lgbt++ u can do so in ur country and nobody will stop you. Imagine a Muslim going to church to ask the pastor to stop preaching abt Jesus and talk abt Mohammed cuz he/she want equality.
So, someone goes to another country and knowing violates the law and you are siding with them? You woke oddball need to realize it ain't your country. Don't like it, don't go. Or, here's an option, stop flaunting your sexual preferences and watch the damn soccer game
Europe again. 500 hundred years ago the were exporting Christianity under a sword in the Americas.
Great?
Imagine that... A foriegn country has different laws and you have to follow them...
You don't like it ,you can book the next flight and go home is that simple.
Yep, follow the rules.
Guess they ain't WOKE
Good move Qatar because Germans are known for forcing the armband thing 😬
Excellent!!
The World Cup is in Qatar. This is not news.
Okay
They're looking for 15mn of fame.
Blame FIFA
If the German soccer team was righteous and pure they would’ve boycotted the World Cup altogether.
I feel nauseated whenever I read your news
fakenews
Good. They're geusts in another country, so Respect their values and Rules. If not, stay away instead of complaining.
And? These fans entered a country knowing full well the consequences. The fact they feel a need to change another countries customs is ignorant.
Boo hoo
I am shocked. After the first 50 articles about the ban on LGBTQ swag at the World Cup I can believe this is still happening. Hopefully someone will throw soup on something or start a Twitter poll.
The rainbow cultists desperately need to indoctrinate everywhere they go. Cult indoctrination
Well deserved........... Enough of this rainbow shit.
Oh wow so much worse than the slavery that built he stadiums
Germans? Really?
It's Qatar therefore follow the rules as simple as that.
That’s not even at the rules though. It’s not supposed to be a dress code and rainbows are a natural occurrence on earth. This is a remarkably ridiculous argument. Colors are a bias of language as well as culture. What if they showed up with their flag instead? It’s not the same.
It's not allowed, which part of this are they struggling with. Is this about football or rainbow stripes?
This is news? Who cares?
are you gay?
Not sure why they ruined gods promise! His promise was with the rainbow
Good
Good.
They know the rules,they can be free in their respective countries,and this is really not news as this is the norm in Qatar, everyone knows by now what the Qatari government wants🤷🏽♂️
It's interesting to watch the Left be shocked by authoritarians restricting freedom of speech. Their speech? Always good. How dare they? The peaceful speech of those they disagree with? Awful. Ban it.
Big Deal…?They knew the rules ..No rainbows allowed . So watch somewhere else🤷♂️
Good, people need to respect the host countries laws or don't bother going
Respect the host country's law! YOU are a visitor there! Not every country is a US campus! Not every country is a US global village! It is THAT simple! Forcing down your life styles and wokeness and crying when it is rejected is cultural colonization!
Respect the culture.
Come on. Why are expecting another country and culture to bow to ours....especially an Arab culture where it isn't 'technically' allowed
Qutor os a foreign country and has their own laws which differ from other countries.
They should have burned Qatar's businesses and looted their stores.
… and ?
News?
So ? This is news? Only
Qatar shud just stop supporting all these western football leagues.
For Arab countries, wearing the rainbow band is equivalent to wearing a swastika band in Europe.
Well da! You're in a Muslim country.
Again, Qatar already told the soccer fans around the world about their laws before the game started. If you’re adults being told once or twice is enough if you think you educated no need to provoke tiger 🐅 will eat you.
as it should have been its a soccer game not a gay pride game?
If you cant behave dont accept the invitation!
😆😅😂🤣
This is news...people asked to remove bracelets? Holy shit Cover the Fauci lab leak, or the faulty vaccines! Do your job 🤡🤡🤣🤣
Good.
They are in Qatar, what did they think was going to happen?
To all human being. How to you have a Child if you re LGBT? Do not be LGBT because humans will perish.
It’s a shame they can’t wear any Christian symbols
Respect the culture. Fly below the radar.
Do I think they should’ve had to no but why be obnoxious and stir the pot?
I don't agree with their views on such things but the values of the west are not universal. You have to respect and follow the laws of whatever county you're in even if you don't agree with them. I, as an American, can't open carry a gun in the UK.
And?
Sometimes even such countries as Qatar get something right.
Good
Why can't the World Cup just be about soccer?
They wore them just to provoke the authorities
Good! takebacktherainbow
Respect others culture😉
Sounds like a plan . . .
...and?
Don’t like the rules? You don’t have to be there
HARAM
Try wearing a Trump ball cap on a college campus in USA
Most countries don’t play that shit. Their country their rules quit crying about it
Don’t want end up like Grinner
Have you not heard of the sandbox before?
Good
It is great that they were asked to remove rainbow colored items that represented homosexual immoral activity.
What is anyone even doing there? What the heck is a wristband going to do? That’s a lazy statement
Respectfully, but you are in their country. Can't you respect their culture?
I agree! It's inappropriate when in that setting. A time and place for everything.
Qatar I have no respect for. Should not be hosting the World Cup.
Good
Somewhere a Republican is drooling.
What does the west not understand about Muslim culture? We’re not down with the 👉👈
Maybe we should be more mindful next time when we give the World Cup to a country that you could assume is homophobic based off previous and current religious beliefs that dominate the country and region.🤷♂️
Remember the furore you had when Russia had the olympics in Sochi and how you speculated that they'd crack down on gay rights and gay athletes? What do you expect from Qatar?
Yeah you have to follow the country's laws and regulations that's why I say lgbtq is wasting its time in USA take the fight to where the gay community has literally no rights in USA you have the same rights we all have
They should complain to FIFA, who chose a host country with medieval rules.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone lol
Let’s start a war over it! ‘MERICA! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅 YEEE-HAWWWW! 🤠🤠Rootin n Tooten!
Respect the people and the law of the land.
So now rainbows are bad 🙄🙄🙄
So?
Their house. Their rules. Cry harder.
I find it interesting that each of these attempts ends with the individuals ensuring their faces are plastered on social media. It's all BS and you guys are lapping it up.
Yeah they should travel there and demand to force their politics onto their hosts. What great people.
Good, because it is disrespectful to all Moslem’s
In other words, they got made into paste. Just imagine how angry and vocal they would be if this was done in Germany. This just proves how clueless they are about the country they're visiting. Typical.
Good 👍
It's their country.
Ok 👌
I don't really like people suggestions about anal sex or plastic toys during a soccer game. It is common sense.
And so what
So ?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hb if is a tattoo?
Can we agree not to host these events at Stone Age countries that are not hospitable and inclusive of everyone? Olive branch to such countries does not stop them in their evil ways ie Russia’s war on Ukraine and China’s insistence on taking back Taiwan
Wonder why the German national team has sucked since the country went woke? Half their starters are Turkish players and aren't of German decent and all they care about is equality and now they suck lol
Good.
this is NOT news. the Qatar officials told EVERYONE ON THE PLANET what was going to happen if a fan wanted to bring/wear rainbow nonsense... Did you think they were joking? their country their rules... deal with it
🤮🤮🤮
Stop the drama n just enjoy football
Apparently it’s an extremely light news day
Well that’s what happens when they let a Islamic country that refuses human rights get the World Cup…I’d be more worried how they picked this country to begin with….unless it is only about money and not the sport or fans….
Their culture, their rules. This isn't a problem for most of our population
Good
Some ppl are just so closed minded.
Can’t we just agree that no one should be forced to wear or not wear rainbow things? So tired of everyone telling everyone else what they should or shouldn’t be doing from BOTH sides.
yes respect the rules or don't go , boycott. Its a sporting event, not for you to promote your political narrative
And meanwhile these same toilet papers ban hijabs... go figure
Why is it sooo important to them to defy the rules? I hate Qatar hosting as much as anyone. But I wouldn’t purposely be an idiot.
What great news! Maybe this will slow the perversion down from committing child abuse, groom and gay indoctrination.
What do you expect in a Muslim country
That’s the culture. If they don’t like it, they are free to remain in Germany.
Dufuses, you have to obey the laws of a country. Do not pis on them.
not as bad as trying to be open conservative or wearing MAGA hat in the west
Who cares you’re a gay please
Useless CNN narrative as usual
Unlike
U prohibit hegab and nekab in ur country . In ours we have the right to put our rules
Wow, why
This is not news. This is Qatar law. You may not agree with it, but that’s what it is.
Oh the humanity!
Respect Qatari law and culture.
Have they tried swastika ar arm bands? Maybe they'll be let it without problems.
White savior on a mission to spread their ideology, the best one ever
😆 🤣
Fucking hero’s. So brave. Normandy type courage.
This is that hard hitting news!
Germany - 🥶🥶🏳️🌈✊🏼🏳️🌈🥶🥶
Good
Someone expected a country to change the law to please him 🤣🤣
Who cares 😂 how is this news?
you can't go and someone else's country and disrespect them with all of your propaganda agenda.
Their country. Their rules. Don’t go if you don’t like it.
The lack of respect for other cultures is a disgrace
Damn straight! Respect their customs, your in a different country.
It's their views, their house. Qatar's beliefs. Now respect it or just don't go to the game there. Same as going to someones house anywhere. Respect the house rules or leave. That simple. No need to be a drama queen.
Trying to push Western values on a Middle Eastern country. That's hate. Do you think white culture is better than that of a country that has a mainly POC population?
Amen
That's cnn for you
First of all it is football SoccerSuckers. It is their religion it is their country you cannot drink alcohol there either. They only have sex with men/boys in privacy or when they go to Europe. They did not create this problem FIFA did.
Enough with this shit. How hard is it to respect other people's culture.
我买3000万德国，好！有种。
CancelWorldCup
Qatar keep making us proud day by day. Keep crying CNN
Waving a red flag in front of a bull can sometimes have consequences for the flag waver.
That must have been a very traumatic experience! Being on Qatari territory and knowingly breaking their laws and then complaining about being stopped..!!
Stop disrespecting others' cultural values.
And it will hurt more when you don't follow the rules of Rome when you are in Rome
Shocked.
This is just wrong
Assume they knew the culture of that country before they made the trip but they still chose to spend $$ there. Could have stayed home & watched. Posers.
Good job Qatar , you behave Germany 😎
How about when you visit you embrace other countries' culture and learn a thing or two instead of throwing tantrums and looking like an i diot
Good.
Different country. You don't like it, don't go there.
It’s they’re country , they’re rules
Good. Respect the country that you are visiting
Maybe I should wear a pentagram and an upside down cross next time I go to a church. Let's see if they let me in.
Why do you keep trying to make this a story?
Why wear such things to a football match anyway? Where I come from, fans wear football shirts of the team they support. I get a feeling they wore rainbow items simply to antagonise local law enforcement and locals. Sad really.
They wouldn't fight for the Palestinians which are under apartheid for decades
What's with LGBTQ and soccer? Appears they go to a soccer game just to protest.
Who cares
Their rules or stay home! It’s just FC anyway!
Cute that westerners seem to think Qatar are going to back down at some point.
Just be glad they didn't arrest you and out you in jail or worse yet throw you off some roof top. Your a guest, follow their rules and customes.
You should learn to respect other people’s beliefs
While I don't agree with this when you are in another country you follow their laws and rules. If you don't like it, leave.
Just a bunch of bigoted disgusting people. What a broken ass culture.
So Muslim countries don’t agree with Men who pretend to be women , men who fuck other men in the arse , men who molest children , men who believe it’s ok to mutilate childrens genitalia to try to change their sex and women who pretend to be men! How bout you show some respect !
Good It should happen everywhere
They're in a country that believes women are property and executes gays. Where they expecting different?
I think we should start this in Europe as well.
All the support for Qatar against this attack from the mob and the perverts who do not like it do not come we are afraid for our children from them
Yeah, everyone is sick of it.
Good
🌈 ppl you want this to become the 🌎. Most sane countries don't want this 'lifestyle' choice.
That’s the rules. Maybe a more tolerant region on the entire planet could’ve hosted it but, don’t want to offend anyone…lol
Good respect the country you're visiting and their customs.
