    Had to smile when I was told this. Paddypower are taking the mick out of Russian intolerance for LGBTQ issues at every level and have announced that for every goal scored by the Russian team they're going to donate 10,000 quid to LGBTQ charities in Russia.
    So that's 50,000 so far. In yer face Vladimir.

    I saw that the other day and signed up. I usually bet with Bet365 but I was really impressed by that.

    Saw this the other day great stuff from paddy power as usual. Just highlights for me how awful the decision to award the world cups to Russia and Qatar were

    At least it’s legal to be homosexual in Russia even if it’s not tolerated by the greater population.

    There’s three countries at least in the World Cup where any form of homosexuality is illegal.

    There's still a poster up in our work without the T. And now there's a Q? What's that stand for? I'm sure they're just adding random letters.

    I read a really interesting article the other week about the gay scene in Saudi Arabia. Despite gay sex being a potentially capital offence, due to the difficulty of having sex with a woman before marriage, a lot of young Saudi guys engage in sex with other guys. This is considered to be completely normal as long as you're only the "giver". But anyone who likes to take it is likely to be stigmatised. All very odd.

    I thought they didn't like being called Queer.also isn't Queer a catch all for all homosexuals? so doesnt that already get covered by L G and possibly B?
    I always thought the Q was for Questioning

    The link I put above explains it all. It is a bit of a minefield.
