Where have Beyoncé's minority defenses gone?
This is what part of the LGBTQ+ community is wondering after the star's private concert for the opening of a luxury hotel in Dubai.
The United Arab Emirates is not exactly a land of tolerance for homosexuals and sexual minorities, since a federal and Emirati law prohibits homosexuality, with the death penalty, no more than they are only known for their feminism, even though the constitution guarantees equality (subject).
However, Mathew Knowles, the father and manager of the interpreter of
Crazy in Love
, does not see where the problem is.
The latter indeed told TMZ that with this concert, Beyoncé “brought together a really diverse crowd” and brought people together.
He also recalled that the
Cuff It
singer was known to have "always stood for inclusion" and would not do anything that would "deliberately hurt someone".
Rebirth or betrayal?
The star declined to comment on the controversy of this return to fanfare, after four years of absence on stage.
Internet users were quick to criticize the artist, who allegedly received $24 million, rather than asserting his “defense of inclusion” loud and clear.
It is clear that Queen B. did not perform any song that could have disturbed the Emirate.
No feminist anthem like
Who Run the World (Girls)
in the playlist planned for this country where women's rights are almost non-existent, no sexy choreography either.
She also did not sing a title from her latest album
Renaissance
, which gives pride of place to the LGBTQ+ community.
Everything was clean and sanitized like the Instagram accounts of the floor of guests visibly selected according to their number of subscribers on social networks.
We found in fact in the public Nabilla or even Kendall Jenner, who were not stingy in Stories.
Note that the Australian actress Rebel Wilson was invited with her companion, the stylist Ramona Agruma, and filmed herself with her hand in hand - all within the hotel which she did not fail to boast the merits.
So many questions swept away by Mathew Knowles, who replies that, to understand the power of this concert, you had to be there.
As for those who criticize, the businessman takes the liberty of replying that these are “narrow-minded” people.
