Pride Month in Arab states brings warnings and rainbow hunts

June, Global Pride Month, has seen several Arab nations launch campaigns specifically seeking to find and quash any support for the LGBTQ community. Lebanon was the latest nation to join the crackdown, with Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi issuing a letter a week ago to Lebanese security forces ordering them to break up any events that "promote" homosexuality.

The letter, labelled "very urgent," said that "after the spread of calls on social media to organize parties and events promoting homosexuality in Lebanon… and considering the negative consequences brought by this phenomenon on individuals and society" police and security forces should "take the necessary measures to ban any celebrations, meetings or gatherings aiming to promote this phenomenon and to report the results back."

Helem (Arabic for Dream), an NGO that works in support of LGBTQ people across North Africa and Southwest Asia, said in a statement that it was "perplexing why, in a country whose citizens have no electricity, no medication, no access to clean water, and no social security, and 30% unemployment the minister thought to prioritize LGBTQ events as the biggest threat to national security."

Emphasis in the first sentence added by me. Global Pride Month. The first time I've heard that particular way of formulating it, but it fits.

Of course sodomy was always against the Muslim religion, but I also see a very strong element of resistance to western cultural imperialism here. Great Satan, indeed.

They’re very sensitive about the near homophone between ‘lesbian’ and ‘Lebanese’.

Idea: they can tie big LGBTQ rainbow flags together and hope they will float them down when thrown off the ten storey buildings for being gay. “Sounded like a good idea, Ahmad.”
Then “Splat.”

TAKE BACK THE RAINBOW! Use it regularly on everything you do and write. Add the phrase, “Let’s all take back the rainbow.” This is long overdue. Be not afraid. This is doable.

I personally know Lebanese dudes. The country is more conservative than we are. As an example, anything that runs contrary to their religion such as magic, is banned. (That’s why Harry Potter almost never gets shown there) Pooftery or Faggery is also a no-no. They hang the fags without fanfare.

I think we just need to send them a couple of containers full of “Coexist” bumper stickers.

When we were there the Saudi women thought they’d see about driving. Whoa that did not go over well. No.

If you support Lebanon, you support Ukraine. If you support Ukraine, you support Antifa. If you support Antifa, you support BLM. If you support the BLM, then you support interfering government bureaucracies. If you support interfering government bureaucracies, then you support the WHO. If you support the WHO, then you support China. If you support China, then you support Russia.

Oh wait...

Osama Bin Ladin was captured alive and converted to a woman. Why else was the burial so secret? He died from his injuries before the surgery was performed.

Perverts don’t use the rainbow. Rainbow has 7 stripes, ROYGBIV, not 6.
Once, I tried to look up which scientist came up with ROYGBIV. I got multi-links saying Newton chose 7, because of numerology. Oh, sure, a world renowned scientist would be applying numerology to science.
Pervs are trying to take over the word rainbow, so I guess you are right. Pervs are Newspeaking the word rainbow.
I want a t-shirt that says “Hashem’s rainbow,” followed by the appropriate Torah verse, plus “Hashem is Hebrew for G-d” on the back. Hopefully, by next June.
