LGBT Issues at the World Cup in Qatar

In international relations, the LGBT phenomenon is included in global human rights issues. Human rights are a very sensitive topic of discussion, but many people do not know about the LGBT phenomenon, namely lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. 

Therefore, they often confuse this term with a misunderstanding. People in the LGBT community continue to be stigmatized or misinterpreted by society at large, even among students.

Qatar's move to ban LGBT symbols is seen as social division and a double standard against humans. In Qatar itself, LGBT and sex outside of marriage is illegal or a crime and can be punished with a criminal offence. 

This has become a controversy in society, especially people in Europe who support LGBT rights. Due to the oblique issues that exist about Qatar, many LGBT people or groups have canceled live broadcasts in Qatar because they don't dare or don't feel safe to come to the country.
