The editor of gay magazine Attitude Cliff Joannou has come out in support of comedian Joe Lycett shredding David Beckham’s iconic cover over his deal with Qatar’s World Cup.
urging the former England footballer to step down from being an ambassador to Qatar in light of the country’s human rights controversy, particularly homosexuality being illegal.
However the footballer did not respond, leading to Lycett shredding wads of cash, later revealing the money was fake and he had indeed donated it to charity, claiming he knew all along Beckham would not change his stance. Now Attitude editor-in-chief Cliff Joannou has issued a statement confirming his support for Lycett’s stunt, and slammed ‘lip service’ to human rights used to ‘boost a person’s profile.’
‘It’s a reminder that being an advocate for not just LGBTQ+ rights, but women’s rights, immigrant worker’s rights… and any human rights should not be lip service.
