Gemayze street, Downtown area, Marina Dbayyeh area, Monot street, Batroun area... These are the places of the famous Lebanese nightlife. It is where the Lebanese people forget about their disastrous life and enjoy the time with loud music and a drink from here and another from there ending up forgetting their reality for sometime but not for so long because the sun always shines the next day.
Most of these places are considered to be straight clubs, straight pubs, straight hangout places, but where do gay people go if they wanted to hang out and meet other gay people? Where can they go and be themselves just as straight people being themselves?
Since it is still unacceptable for two men to kiss or hold hands in any pub, or on the street, gay people now have their own hangout places, nightclubs, pubs, and restaurants. It is a stage of "Not to Mingle", just because homosexuals are being abused (verbally and sometimes physically) and just because homosexuals are not accepted yet in the community they had to have their own places, because at the end of the day they are human beings and they need to go out, forget their disastrous life and have fun meet other gay people and live normally.
Pubs such as Life-Bar, nightclubs such as Acid & Milk, and Restaurants such as Bardo, are not gay friendly places but gay places, other gay friendly places can be such as: Teh Marbouta, Torino...
Now days homosexuals are able to go out enjoy their time, and actually kiss in the middle of their restaurant/pub/nightclub and they would not be abused nor kicked out, because they became living in tribes.
