18:17Now PlayingIn a bold move towards advocating for LGBTQIA+ rights, Murr Television (MTV) in Lebanon aired an ad campaign urging for the decriminalization of homosexuality. This initiative confronts Article 534 of Lebanon's Penal Code, which penalizes "unnatural sexual intercourse" with a year of imprisonment. The striking ad displayed two men holding hands and highlighted the message, “There are crimes, and there is love. Abolish Article 534 of the penal code that criminalizes homosexuality.” Yet, the campaign has incited vehement backlash from some religious leaders. Dr. Hassan Moraib, a prominent Lebanese Sunni religious leader, dramatically stated during a show on Spot Shot Online, “We consider MTV to be a plague worse than the coronavirus, which people should beware of. MTV has sold its soul to Satan,” even going so far as to issue a fatwa against the TV channel. This heightened contention underscores the deep-seated challenges the LGBTQIA+ community faces in Lebanon.
