While I agree it was totally stupid (and probably corrupt) to hold the World Cup in Qatar, money talks and always has and always will.
I've been in Tunisia and Egypt, where their idea of health and safety equipment is a baseball cap and open-toed sandals, as well as Qatar, where ALL displays of public affection are "banned" - not just the LGBT+ community, whose lobbyists would have you believe it's just them. Having said that, on our visit we saw a couple of young male Arabs walking down the street hand in hand.
Good luck, Wakey, and all the other British football fans. All you need to do is respect the local laws and customs and you will be fine. It should be surprisingly easy.
