Harrasement by a group which is supposed to protect the rights of Gays and Lesbians of Lebanese and Arab origin!!!

Kabous is an Arabic word which means nightmare...Such has been my experience with "Helem", a group which has supposedly been created to protect the rights of Gays and Lesbians of Lebanese and Arabic origin!...Here's a typical example of Irony...I thought that by being gay and of Lebanese origin, that I was going to automatically be accepted and respected by this group...On the contrary, not only I was made to feel unwelcomed, but I witnessed some pretty negative and degrading comments towords myself and other people in public...Most members of this group are very snob and if they simply don't like the face of the person who visits them they criticize or even humiliate him or her...I was often the victim of their vulgar and utterly humiliating comments, be it in public places such as Cafés, Restaurants, night clubs, metro stations, or at one of their numerous "Charity"(!!!) events...Shame on "Helem" or rather "Kabous"!!!

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
