No association between Queer Lisboa and the criminal Israeli apartheid!

Immediate rejection of the Israeli embassy's support to the Festival!

From 17 to 25 September the 14th edition of Queer Lisboa will take place in the city of Lisbon. A Cinema Festival born from the LGBT (lesbian, bi, gay and transgender) movement and from its mobilization against the discriminations for sexual orientation or gender identity in Portugal, it is a venue worthy of our appreciation and solidarity. In its present edition, however, as it has been the case in the last three years, the Festival is about to receive both financial and institutional support from the Israeli embassy in Lisbon.

Beirut: city of projected fantasies

Visitors to Lebanon talk about a gay culture but what most of them see is just gay consumerism

By Diamond Walid:

Beirut has been labelled the Paris, sometimes the Switzerland, of the Middle East. According to one recent New York Times article, it is now the region's Provincetown (the Cape Cod resort favoured by gay visitors). This ever-changing city seems to have become a mirror where people project their own fantasies.
