Comments on homosexuality
During an interview with German television channel ZDF on 8 November 2022, Salman made comments about homosexuality, saying "during the World Cup, many things would come into the country. For example, let's talk about gays. The most important thing would be that everyone would accept that they come here. But they would have to accept our rules." Salman mentioned that he has problems with children seeing gay men. He argued that children would then learn something that would be not good. He said that being gay is "haram" or forbidden, and described homosexuality as a "damage in the mind".[4][5] The interview was stopped by a World Cup organizing committee press officer.[6] His comments led to massive criticism in Germany.[7][8] However, Salman later stated that his comments were misinterpreted and that "damage in the mind" was in relation to alcohol and not homosexuality.[9][10]
