Sport might be for all, but LGBTQ fans following their team at the World Cup next year have been war
Sport might be for all, but LGBTQ fans following their team at the World Cup next year have been warned about showing public displays of affection.
The warning comes from the anti-discrimination group, FARE network, who have advised FIFA in the past about on how to combat racism, sexism and homophobia in its stadiums.

Although homosexuality has been legal in the country since 1993, anti-LGBTQ sentiment is abound in the country. So-called "gay propaganda" laws which ban the promotion of homosexuality to people under 18 were enacted in 2013, but advocates say it "reinforces stigma and homophobia."
"The guide will advise gay people to be cautious in any place which is not seen to be welcoming to the LGBT community," FARE executive director Piara Powar told AP.
"If you have gay fans walking down the street holding hands, will they face danger in doing so? That depends on which city they are in and the time of day."

While FIFA doesn't allow for political flags, nothing in the regulations clearly state something like a rainbow flag would be banned.
Warnings also applies to black and ethnic minority fans, due to long held concerns about the presence of far-right nationalist groups in the country.
"There are two elements to it — one towards people of color and other element is far-right nationalism. Far-right extremist groups have had around 300 people banned from attending the World Cup," Powar added.
FIFA will place anti-discrimination observers will be in stadiums to spot incidents, something which was first tested at the Confederations Cup this year.
With the World Cup draw set to be decided on Friday, fans will start to make plans for the world's biggest sporting event, but certainly questions remain on whether they'll feel safe or not.
