Lebanese media personalities speak out against homophobia
LGBT rights group releases video calling for an end to discrimination.
A group of Lebanese personalities are calling on their fellow citizens to fight discrimination against the country’s LGBT community.
“You don’t have to be poor to defend the rights of the poor. You don’t have to be a woman to defend the rights of women. You don’t have to be a refugee to defend the rights of refugees. And you don’t have to be gay to defend the rights of gays”, the participants say in Arabic.
Rights group ‘Proud Lebanon’ released the video on Saturday to promote an upcoming day of action against homophobia. The organisation is planning a Beirut gathering for May 17 to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.
