Some pubs are refusing to show the games in protest
Pubs and bars in Leeds are taking a stance against Qatar’s human rights issues and LGBTQ+ laws by refusing to show the World Cup.
“We wanted to create a safe space where people felt comfortable watching the football. However, after careful deliberation and upon further research, we now understand it is best to cancel the upcoming events in response to the ongoing human rights and LGBTQ+ issues surrounding the hoist nation. "We are committed to creating a venue for all communities, where everyone is welcome. As previously planned, we'll be fundraising throughout the duration of the World Cup for Yorkshire Mesmac."
