Talking as a Pakistani I don’t think it will in my lifetime.
There are similar views in Pakistani that being gay (especially men being gay) is something that white men do to us, the forces used similar tactics as slavers, sometimes it was women, sometimes it was men. So again there is a strong view by some that by being gay you’re on the side of the oppressor. You have to remember this was going on in what is now Pakistan until the 1950’s.
After independence Pakistan went for extreme conservatism as a way to protect itself from Britain and British influences. The negative effects of both partition and British rule are still felt in Pakistan, I have living relatives who were assaulted by British soldiers, I have living relatives who had their lives destroyed by partition. Until we get to a point when British rule and partition are simply a part of history, I really don’t think anything can actually change. I would very much like it to change before then, but I don’t think it will. In Pakistan there is a general rule that you can’t actually be gay and Pakistani and it is a belief held by many people.
Until British rule being gay wasn’t an issue, obviously there weren’t protections in law or anything, but it didn’t bring shame on a family, it didn’t lead to people being coerced into a straight marriage etc. Much like other colonies in the Asian subcontinent homophobia was very much taught and heavily promoted to children under British rule.
The green party are trying to make changes, but there really the only official ‘organisation’ that are keen to actually ensure rights in law, make being gay legal etc. There are better views in young people, but speaking out can mean losing your job, causing shame which prevents your family working, your siblings or cousins marrying etc.
Sport does have a huge issue with homophobia (and in many racism and sexism), we’ve only just had players at Manly refuse to play with a rainbow stripe on their shirt as it goes against their religious beliefs, yet their happy to advertise gambling, if it was an issue of religious belief and not homophobia they would say no to gambling sponsors on their shirts and they are happy to work on a sunday! We had Israel Folau in 2019. Me and my team mates have been abused by players who are embarrased when they lose to us (gay team) because we’re not proper men, I had to leave an RFU championship club because coach was no longer willing to play me when he found out I was gay. Things are getting better in rugby, my mate plays for Batley and is openly gay. But in other sports we have a long long way to go, and this is in the UK where generally laws are pretty much almost where they need to be. If footballers are too scared to come out in the UK, if kids are too scared to tell their parents, imagine those same people in Pakistan, Brunei, Kenya etc.
Sonny Williams wouldn’t wear anything LGBT, however he also won’t wear anything with a gambling sponsor on, an alcohol brand etc. Thats fine because he isn’t being a hypocrit, he isn’t picking and choosing which bits of his religion to adhere to.
In football we have a huge problem of homophobia amongst fans (and other problems), studies show a signifcant number of football fans would be embarrassed or ashamed if their favourite play was gay.
