SF Chronicle says gay FIFA fans are nervous about visiting the USA (they defended Qatar hosting the last World Cup)

Blatant hypocrisy is the darnedest thing.

I absolutely LOVE that Community Note!

From the 100% non-parody article:

In recent months, several entities, including the ACLU and Amnesty International, have issued travel advisories for visitors coming to the United States for the World Cup. They warn that immigrants, racial minorities, and 'LBGTQ+ [sic] individuals have been and continue to be disproportionately targeted and affected by the administration's policies and, as such, are most vulnerable to serious harm when traveling to and/or within the United States.'

The LGBTQ crowd is afraid to travel to the U.S. for the World Cup?

Good for the San Francisco Chronicle, the proud, upstanding newspaper, for championing the cause of equality in the face of bigotry!

There's just one problem: The last World Cup was held in Qatar, where they don't exactly take kindly to the gay folk. And the paper didn't seem all that concerned about it then. In fact, they were applauding it.

Here it is 👇

That's right, the paper previously published a piece defending the event being held in Qatar:

Someone do us all a favor and tell the San Francisco Chronicle that people will be more likely to listen to their pearl-clutching once they pull their collective foot out of their collective hypocritical mouth.

Thanks.
