Tory chair says people should be safe to go to World Cup, after James Cleverly’s call for fans to ‘respect’ culture
The Conservative party chair has said that LGBTQ+ football fans travelling to next month’s World Cup in Qatar should not have to compromise on their sexuality, despite his cabinet colleague, the foreign secretary, saying that fans should “respect” Qatar’s culture just a day earlier.
Speaking to LBC Radio, Nadhim Zahawi said that no one should have to compromise on their identity if they wanted to attend the World Cup. He said: “I would say you should not compromise on your identity or your sexuality or your sexual preference in any way. Of course you are safe to go to the World Cup. No one should have to compromise at all in my view.
