The show focused on a couple of gays and one of them was a male belly dancer in Beirut by the name of Mousbah. His manger supported him by saying that he's good at what he does and the people enjoy watching him which is the real issue here and 'who cares if he is gay?'. At that moment I thought to myself, eveybody cares if he is gay in a country where 70% of the population is muslim!!! This isn't the United States of America, there's no 'democracy'? Infact, Lebanon has a law (according to shariah law) against homosexuals. But shariah law applies to muslims and since the muslims don't act like muslims in Lebanon I guess it doesn't apply to them. While in Saudi Arabia, it is implemented and the punishment for homos is death sentence.
Another gay they focused on was George Salhab, he whined about his brother-in-law beating the hell out of him when he found out he was a homo (what else did he expect him to do?). This guy tried to suicide but he says 'God saved him'. Unlike the gays in the west he happens to believe in God...How unusual?
There was gay girl called Sarah Abu Ghazal who was from a muslim family but she had not yet told her family about her other life. She and some others have started a movement called 'Helem (dream)' to 'educate' people about homosexuality. Yeah, right...educate!. I guess its always going to remain a dream.
Its so weird how most of these gays are christians and can speak english fluently, I would think they definately would have to lived in some western country to be exposed to homoism. If they haven't then I don't know what's going on in Lebanon??
