With French clubs' players encouraged to wear rainbow-colored numbers on the back of their shirts to commemorate World Day Against Homophobia on May 17, the 32-year-old Gueye, who is a devout Muslim, missed PSG's match against Montpellier to avoid wearing the shirt, according to French sports broadcaster RMC Sport.PSG head coach Mauricio Pochettino, told a media conference that Gueye was excused from Saturday's game for"personal reasons.
Senegalese lawmakers draft new legislation targeting LGBT communityPresident Sall's show of support was welcomed by many locals in the Muslim-dominated West African country where being in a same-sex relationship is punishable by up to five years in prison, amid an increase in the arrest and prosecution of LGBTQ community members in recent years.The Senegalese player was also absent during the same commemorative fixture last year due to illness, his club said at the time, according to RMC.
I don't know why there is a determination to force this perverted lifestyle on others. And someone who chooses to oppose homosexual abominations is not a homophobe but a believer in common sense values and uprightness
Gueye has my 100% unconditional support. I would do the same if I were him. He must not be forced to do something that violates his conscience, cultural and religious beliefs. Thanks Gueye💪💪💪👏👏👌
Really!!!!! a homophobia row?!!!!! Wow
Don't ever appropriate someone's faith or dignity CNN
Tolerance is to be 'passive' about a right & not do anything to hinder it. Acceptance is to be 'active' abt it & take steps to validate it. Tolerance can be compelled by law but acceptance must never be. By attempting to force validation, the LGBTQ movement is becoming the bully.
I hope all you idiots online do not equate skin color with someone choosing to have sex with the same sex.
There's nothing homophobic in his action. He never said he hated them, he just wouldn't support them or do anything to promote them. Why try to make people do things against their wish and ideals, when they're not even offending or harming anyone
I’d bet a lot of money PSG will get rid of him over the summer. Having to go to your 3rd string player because your backup refuses to play is not acceptable at this level. He’s just not good enough for such an abhorrent PR nightmare
If you won't support them and stayed silence that also crime and against there freedom?
This is not even fair, let alone democratic. Why the players don’t have the right to excuse themselves from abstaining the game? Why do they need to answer to the ethics committee?
He will be fine, he is a rich footballer 🤦♂️
He has the right to honour his beliefs and to be respected for doing so.

We support his right to stand againts white supremacy and racism towards blacks. France still steal money from african colonies. The great replacement theory used to slaughter 10 black people in Buffalo comes from France.
