FIFA official reveals he’s gay amid World Cup Qatar controversy

At Saturday’s press conference, Infantino said he felt «Arab, gay and a migrant worker» and rejected criticism of the Arab country. He decried the «hypocrisy» and «moral lessons» of Western countries that have expressed their outrage about human rights violations in the Middle Eastern country.

After his speech, Swanson spoke publicly about his sexual preferences. “I spent a lot of time working alongside Infantino. I am gay as are many others in FIFA and I have always felt supported,» he told journalists, according to the Mirror.

“Today I feel gay”

Infantino’s speech was aimed at dispelling the concerns about human rights abuses regarding the LGBTIQ+ community and women who will travel to Qatar to enjoy the World Cup. He also spoke of the limitations of the consumption of beer in the stadiums.

«Today I feel Qatari, today I feel Arab, today I feel African, today I feel gay, today I feel disabled, today I feel like a migrant worker,» said the FIFA president. “This reminds me of my personal story because I am the son of migrant workers.”

And the beer?

“I know what it means to be discriminated against, to be harassed as a foreigner. As a child I was discriminated against because I was redheaded, because I had freckles, I was Italian, I spoke German badly,” Infantino added about the accusations. “What is happening right now is profoundly unfair.”

Qatar also banned the consumption of alcohol in all eight stadiums, and Infantino offered his opinion. «I personally think that you can survive without drinking beer for three hours, which is already happening in France, Spain and Scotland,” he said. WATCH VIDEO HERE.
