Gay charity and lobbyists Stonewall are inviting all members of the LGBTQIA+ communities and allies to stand together to create a “virtual stadium” for civil and human rights, to stand in contrast to the homophobic and repressive policies of World Cup host state Qatar. Stonewall say “As football fans fill stadiums in Qatar to watch their teams play, we’re filling a virtual Proud Stadium with supporters of LGBTQ+ rights, coming together to shine a light on the injustices that our communities face in Qatar, and in many more countries around the world. Together, we can send a powerful message to global leaders, whether sponsors, broadcasters or politicians: LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, and we won’t stand for the persecution of LGBTQ+ people in Qatar, or anywhere else”. To lend your support to the virtual stadium, visit stonewall.org.uk.
