Why exactly are you comparing actions of members of the public to actual LAWS of the nation? You think that is genuinely a valid comparison? The country has laws in place that can criminalise and kill gay people. That is not comparable to the US which has gay marriage legalised. It’s a straw man argument and you know it. People need to stop defending every damn thing she does and gaslighting those who are unhappy that she’s made this decision. I’m sorry, but it’s WRONG. She should know better.
www Posted December 25, 2022 Posted December 25, 2022 I hope this turns to be fake like that recent story that she would perform for a luxury brand at the Milano fashion week. Otherwise, not a fa of her not doing anything for the fans the entire year and then doing a show for filthy rich people and in … Dubai.

Again, that is the position of THE STATE in Dubai, that homosexuals need to be prosecuted. Homophobic people exist everywhere but Biden signed a same sex protection bill a couple of weeks ago. That's the official position of the state here. Stop being intellectually dishonest and conflating things that are not the same to defend people that say we are disgusting abominations of nature as their OFFICIAL POSITION.
BnPac Posted December 25, 2022 Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) There's no way the era where she has a fire outro screaming Uncle Johnny and songs like Cozy (!!!), Honey will have its first event performing in front of the elite in a country where killing gay people is OK by law. I wouldn't mind a concert there eventually in the middle of a tour actually because her fans there also deserve to see her but this is not even an event for her fans. I will wait actual confirmation from her team. 20 million is not that much money to show so little morals and be so tone deaf tbh. Even she knows better. Edited December 25, 2022 by BnPac
Shelter Posted December 25, 2022 Posted December 25, 2022 She has always done private events, some you probably don’t even know about. Of course some will it make it out to be a big thing. Get your check Bey. Maybe a video will leak of her performing.

Shelter Posted December 25, 2022 Posted December 25, 2022 Just curious, would ya’ll turn down 20 million (If it’s really that), would you really? It’s probably only like a 45 min show too lol, so just her classics.

Respect For Marriage act literally legally protects religious organizations when they discriminate against LGBTQ folks. Signed into law by Biden the other week. Dubai is a city in an Islamic state. The bill Biden signed would legally allow them to discriminate against gays to protect “sanctity of traditional marriage”… THIS IS AMERICA. Yall don’t even know what the **** is up. Dubai has capital punishment they aren’t even using for murderers, let alone gays like y’all wanna sensationalize, meanwhile we’re compromising on LGBTQ rights here to reach across the aisle. Gays are not in more danger in Dubai than they are in Florida, Louisiana, Texas etc. where state legislation further infringes upon our rights to exist. Should Beyoncé skip these states?

She so annoyingly elitist and money-hungry. Humble my ass

The Respect for Marriage act protects the rights of same sex and interracial couples on a federal level, all such unions will now be recognized in every US state and territory in response to the psycho wannabe theocrats of the Supreme Court. Meanwhile in Dubai homosexuality is illegal and theocracy is literally the law of the land. How the hell are you making the two similar? Edited December 25, 2022 by Jay07

ToraeGilt Posted December 25, 2022 Posted December 25, 2022 Beyoncé has y’all fuming in here everyday 😭

She should know better. Thank you. I've reserved criticism of her this era because although it's been relatively boring and she hasn't done anything, she hasn't done anything wrong. But this is wrong. And people are making inane comparisons to try and excuse it away. Performing in Fort Lauderdale or Miami, FL is NOT the same as performing in Dubai.
Space&Time Posted December 25, 2022 Posted December 25, 2022 I give no fucks about performing in Dubai for 20 + million dollars. It’s very on brand for her. Dubai is an international world class city full of ex pats and more. Spare the outrage.
Shelter Posted December 25, 2022 Posted December 25, 2022 Hopefully she books a stadium in Dubai on the tour, to make those complaining fume even more

Dubai is an international world class city full of ex pats and more. Spare the outrage. Dubai is very cosmopolitan and full of a diverse group of people. I don't think anyone would deny that. The fact her first performance during an album era that's an ode to the marginalized queer community is taking place in Dubai for the ultra rich is crazy. Like she really took inspiration from 80s/90s ballrooms and she's gonna go perform it in a country where it is illegal to be gay for a room full of elites. I swear some of you would've been defending her performing for Gaddafi too. "Get money!" Like she's not already so rich she could support everyone in her family for generations
