Regarding the bold, no it isn't. Because being a vegetarian and eating chicken are two morally defensible positions. Homophobia isn't.This argument only works if you witness the alleged offences taking place.
People here are talking about how Qatar is a shithole and they should boycott it etc and how people should be able to express their sexuality there which is different altogether.
If you went there and saw a gay being beaten, then your argument would apply. But instead what's being proposed here is going to the house of a vegetarian with a bucket of KFC because, they should accept that you like chicken.
And we have seen the offences taking place. We've seen their anti-LGBT laws and we've seen the reports on the discrimination LGBT people face. The fact that we haven't personally seen homosexuals being beaten with our own eyes in Qatar doesn't magic reality away.
