To be fair, this is a stupid law in Morocco and people need to be pressed on this regressive shyt. I support the freedom of the LBG community from oppression and violence. The T community is on their own.
You press the government, not the people being oppressed by the law. You want to put someone in danger, how about you go to Morocco yourself and protest in front of their government buildings and see how that works out for you.

It’s not political yet the question literally led off with “it’s illegal to….”
Fired and blacklisted seems appropriate. Go open a barista or some shyt

@Eric Brooks Apparently supports this reporter trying to get those players killed based the neg he gave me. Come in here and explain why trying to get these women killed is appropriate by the media you bytch
You believe that was tone deaf breh?
Theres a reason why the bbc is hiding the journalists identity
Sports representatives are powerful in this way when pressing the government doesn’t work though. Countries want their best foot forward so they’ll often change policy to appear forward looking in the eyes of the world.
press the powerful captain of the women's soccer team, and then Morocco will accept homosexuality?
leave it to Prajeet to be the only one to say some wild dumb shyt in here

I absolutely do. Islamic countries don't play that shyt when it comes to alphabet issues, and everyone knows it. A reporter asking these questions to a citizen of one of these countries knows that what they're doing is extremely dangerous.

Who was beheaded?
Real talk - beheadings in Morocco?
Harlem is the embassy in Morocco
Doesn’t change my point. You can’t force someone to be martyr for your cause just cause you think they have influence

BBC apologizes for reporter’s ‘inappropriate’ question to Morocco women’s team captain

The BBC has apologized for an “inappropriate” question one of its reporters asked the captain of the Morocco women’s national team .
At a media conference ahead of Morocco’s Women’s World Cup opener against Germany, a reporter from the British news organization’s World Service asked Ghizlane Chebbak: “In Morocco, it’s illegal to have a gay relationship. Do you have any gay players in your squad and what’s life like for them in Morocco?”
The press conference moderator interjected, saying: “Sorry, this is a very political question, so we’ll just stick to questions relating to football.”
“No, it’s not political,” the journalist replied. “It’s about people, it’s got nothing to do with politics. Please let her answer the question.”
The Athletic’s Steph Yang, who was in the room, said that “some members of the Moroccan media were audibly dismayed by the question.”
Shireen Ahmed, a reporter for CBC Sports who was also in the room, wrote that the reporter was “completely out of line.”
“Harm reduction matters and posing the question to the captain or coach was unnecessary,” she added.
“Asking a player about her teammates and whether they are gay and how it affects them when you know it is not permissible is bizarre and out of line. The captain cannot out players nor comment on policy bc [because] it could be dangerous for them, too,” Ahmed wrote.
“If reporting harms someone, it is not only unethical but dangerous.”
