At a Striaght Pub

Yesterday I went to meet my friend in a pub around downtown Beirut, we were sitting and kind of chatting and something just grabbed my attention, a guy and a girl French kissing in the middle of that bar. So I thought what if two guys were kissing instead of this guy and this girl? I started drawing several scenarios:

a- They might have been kicked out of the pub and never to come back again, humiliated with hateful words.

b- They might have been abused physically by some of the customers, and the owners, and eventually kicked out of the club for good.

And the final scenario is the most common:

c- They might have been taken out of the club, by the "MEN" and got their asses kicked in front of everyone on a weekend night...

This is the truth...

The problem with our society is that it suffers from different problems that have several causes and stimuli:

a- Religion

b- Parental background

c- Environmental social background

These three problems drive our society into a very judgmental, hypocritical, and chaotic system that refuses to accept differences, and other people's social or mental deformation.

SIDE NOTE: I am not saying that being GAY is a deformation, I am only trying to explain how is the Lebanese society created, and on what bases.

So where should gay people live? Should they all leave the country? Go to Europe, Canada, or to some states in the United States?

But if all the gay community leaves from Lebanon, I think the population would decrease into half… Such a big gay community, but afraid to be exposed in front of the public, because of the (A), (B), and (C) that I mentioned previously…

The question to be asked: When will the Gay people in Lebanon stand up and ask for their rights? Because as we always say: One Hand Does Not Clap.
