In the spot, actress Miriam Margoyles hopes to persuade \u2018the people that run football\u2019 to accept a Big Gay \u201cDonation\u201d and host the tournament in an LGBTQ+ friendly country.<\/p>\n

\n

If they do not accept the \u201cdonation\u201d, then the money raised will be given to the Stonewall charity. So far, \u00a37k has been raised for the cause.<\/p>\n

In the video, the actress, says: \u201cQueer people across the globe love football \u2014 we just can\u2019t support it like everyone else. We\u2019ve seen how Qatar feels about us gays,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf that wasn\u2019t a big enough kick in the tits, the 2030 World Cup could be given to another host nation that criminalizes LGBTQ+ people, judging by the countries currently bidding for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film was shot by award-winning director Oscar Carriss, alongside the creative agency Uncommon.<\/p>\n

Liz Ward, director of programmes at Stonewall said: \u201cAll LGBTQ+ people deserve to live their lives to the full, to travel freely without fear, and to be part of global sporting events like the World Cup. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, and we won\u2019t stand for the persecution of LGBTQ+ people in Qatar, or anywhere else. Thank you to Miriam Margolyes and to everyone that is taking a stand for LGBTQ+ inclusion and freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n
