What about the point of view of gay Qataris? It's not about gay people wanting to visit Qatar, it's their barbaric treatment of gay people that's one of the problems.

As I said, I’m not debating what’s right and what’s wrong, I’m simply stating that some stuff can be normal for you, and not normal for other people. As a matter of fact, same case existed in Russia 2018 and there was not a lot of fuss about it.

And I'm saying it's not about me, it's about discrimination within Qatar of Qatari people.

Being Muslim is not normal to me but you bet your life I would never try to stop someone from following their faith and defend their right to practice it.

Your right about Russia and plenty of people did make a fuss about it then, not as much as today I'll grant you.

But how can they learn if nobody attempts to teach them?

In order to teach someone, you need to first understand them, do you claim to understand the culture of Qatar? Or do you just despise them and want to shape the way you want?
