COLOMBIA NEWS – (From Mike’s Bogota Blog) Bogotá’s 2014 Gay Pride Parade was the usual spectacle – and drew multitudes of spectators, despite competition from a World Cup elimination match.
Whether or not spectacles like this one contribute to the acceptance of sexual minorities, I’ll let others decide.
Notably, the World Cup eight years from now is scheduled to be held in Qatar, a Muslim principality which imposes harsh penalties on homosexuals. If Qatar’s discriminatory laws were instead directed against a racial or religious minority, then the FIFA would likely never tolerate them.
