The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
"Ungodly" and "not in line with Lebanese customs" – these are some of the reasons why Lebanese security forces have cracked down on various LGBTQ community groups and their events. LGBTQ-friendly events, according to a statement from the Interior Ministry on June 24, "violate our society's customs and traditions, and contradict the principles of the Abrahamic religions." In the Christian Achrafieh district, supporters named the "Soldiers of God" removed a billboard that supports and promotes activities and events along with the Pride Month celebration. Sunni Tarik Jdideh residents also converged and condemned activities of the LGBTQ community, dubbing these an "infiltration" into their community. These actions, among others, have instilled fear in the members of the LGBTQ community. Many activities such as meet-ups and performing in drag shows have been put on hold. Supposedly, Lebanon's LGBTQ community is the most open among the Arab countries and has grown in public visibility in the past few years, even though homosexuality is against the law. Law 534 criminalizes homosexuality as an "act against nature." In 2016, at least 76 individuals were arrested on charges of "sexual intercourse contrary to nature." Activists say that the crackdown is a fabricated moral panic meant to distract from the spiraling economic and financial crisis that the country is experiencing.
