This is creating a major row among the gay and lesbian community who are saying this is clearly unfair.
James Cleverly, Britain’s Foreign Secretary has told LGBT fans travelling to the World Cup in Qatar to “compromise” to stay safe. Not the best way to exert our British values. Maybe he should ask for safety guarantees from his Qatari counterpart instead. https://t.co/kiIt1nWeXt

James Cleverly would rather tell gay people to turn off their gayness for a fortnight than attempt to safeguard LGBTQ+ citizens travelling to Qatar for the World Cup. Our new Prime Minister is eager to segregate transgender people in sport. pic.twitter.com/yOSYh5ujOE

The British Foreign Secretary has had these are Muslim communities with traditions and culture and LGBT football fans should respect these when they are in Qatar. They should be 'respectful of the host nation'.
