Middle class activism is always an embarrassment because the issues are always so remote from the people who claim to care about them. What do any of these people know about Qatar, Islam, or oppression generally? Nothing. They're all insanely privileged Westerners.
Also, it is profoundly cringe. This has strong "rap against rape" energy, which, somehow, failed to stop rape in the same way this song will fail to change the Islamic mind on homosexuality.
There's something unbearable about the smug, self-satisfied declarations of the softest people to have ever lived as they falsely proclaim to the world that they have SOLVED MORALITY for everyone, everywhere, at all times and in all places.
This entire production is an exercise in privileged self-indulgence.
"We are good because we have declared ourselves to be good, you are bad because we have declared you to be bad."
Are there any downsides to being trans or gay? Not in their view at least.

They wallow in the false belief that they support a perfect good, compared to the Qataris who represent the unrepentantly evil position of orthodox Islamic morality.
Its gross, embarrassing, ignorant imperialism. It speaks of a total lack of understanding of ourselves and others.
