'Being gay is against human nature!': Shocking views of Qatari teacher who acted as David Beckham's interpreter in glossy promo film for World Cup host nation

Gliding through Doha's dazzlingly futuristic cityscape on Monday morning, in a limousine provided by the Qatari government, David Beckham might have allowed himself a self-satisfied smile, writes DAVID JONES. Having secured an astonishing deal, reportedly worth £150 million over ten years, to act as a global ambassador for the wealthiest state on earth, he was there as the 'face' of the World Cup, which opens here - amid huge controversy - on November 20. Soon his wife, Victoria, will join him, lending her presence to a prestigious fashion competition for talented young Arab designers, chaired by her friend Sheikha Al- Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the sister of Qatar's ruling emir. Members of the Beckham family are also expected to arrive for the football tournament. They will see their father feted like a visiting statesman, his handsome face staring down from billboards across the city.
