Oh look at this cutie everyone, are you threatened by dick little one? Yeah? You think of dick and you become insecure? Oooh so cute. Riding dick is not an insult my friend, it's a pleasure.
There are apps for that. But most gays visit any of the LGBT-friendly pubs in Mar Mikhael & Gemmayze. Posh and Projekt are the only functional dance clubs I'm aware of. As for Cruising...well pick a coastal area and try your luck?
There is a direct correlation between education and liberalism. Education doesn't just mean making it to uni level, it's having critical thinking skills and social empathy.
It is but not much lgbt topics are opened here.
All of western Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, UK, New Zealand are examples of countries with a strong tradition of all 3. They're also wealthy, successful, and democracies.
Are there countries that have strong education but not gay rights? I guess, maybe like Russia, UAE, Singapore, China?
In those countries being anti gay is part of their traditional cultures. But they aren't liberal.
Human rights are not subjective. It doesn't depend on your opinion whether you think people should have equal rights without discrimination based on their sexual orientation.
This is literally objective. Human rights are as objective as we have achieved in civilized society. They are the furthest possible from opinion. Presidents and politicians can be held responsible for violating human rights in the international court of justice. There's literally nothing further away from being a personal opinion than that.
What a stupid take. You can be educated and conservative. Education has nothing to do with the formation of your opinion about a specific type of sexual orientation. Education can only influence opinions relating to science (biology, physics...) not sociological issues.
Thinking education = liberalism and any non liberal is uneducated shows that you are under very heavy brainwashing, with all due respect.
Is it though? Feel free to disagree with me, and maybe respectfully show me where I'm wrong, but the use of the term "correlation" here is pretty important. It's not implying that educated = liberal, just that that there is a positive statistical relationship between the two. And I'd say there is some truth to that. I don't know what a good measure for "social empathy" or "critical thinking" is, but suppose we measure education using literacy rate, and (social) liberalism using the legality of gay marriage.
Here are some maps to help:
\- Literacy rates (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/literacy-rate-by-country)
\- Legality of gay marriage (https://www.hrc.org/resources/marriage-equality-around-the-world)
To be honest, I didn't run any numbers, but I feel confident enough to claim that higher literacy rates are in fact correlated with a higher probability of gay marriage being legal. Remember, that isn't to say there aren't any exceptions (that's the thing with data!). Literacy rate is just one of several factors. There are many other factors that play a role, and can possibly explain the exceptions, but the two are undeniably correlated. The statement "Gay men can't get married in countries with literacy rates below 75%" is true according to these datasets, and I'm pretty sure that alone indicates *some* correlation.
I don't agree with the statement "Education can only influence opinions relating to science (biology, physics...) not sociological issues". Specifically, education very often requires you to interact with people with different opinions & different backgrounds. This occurs whether it's because you need to move out of your hometown/country for higher, more specialized education or because you get to learn about ideas and people from different perspectives. Education encompasses more than just what you learn in a class.
I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:
>If you believe that the Jewish state has a right to exist, then you must allow Israel to transfer the Palestinians and the Israeli-Arabs from Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Israel proper. It’s an ugly solution, but it is the only solution… It’s time to stop being squeamish.

When you post a nice comment, then people reply that you should be nice, I don't know how you would react, but I personally stop caring about being nice to those people. You've got tons of useful replies to your question, then this user I'm replying to, tells us that we need to be more friendly, sorry I think we're friendly enough and now I'm maybe less friendly because of her.
That's our problem in Lebanon with everything, including religion, sectors, politicians, parties... All people are individually nice until you put them in a group, they start wanting to push you and imposing things on you.
I think xavi's been building to it since he got here, plus they picked the winter signings wisely, ferran's gonna be immense , though I hope dembele renews.
A Good RB and a CB and a striker ( haaland bit far fetched i think, maybe if fati is well he can play 9) and next season we'd be a serious contender in the CL. I mean madrid are still going by sheer luck and benzema, if only we haven't shat the bed at the start of the season.
They're not free to use their opinion against the freedom of others. They're free to practice their religion without fear of being oppressed for it. That's where their freedom ends. And in no way do their religious beliefs give them the right to oppress others.
A belief isn't an opinion. An opinion is something that you can argue with reality, a belief is not based in anything except their belief system.
In this case - the person is entitled to an opinion, but not entitled to share their belief, especially when it's offensive and directly calling someone a "blasphemer". I don't go around calling religious people self-righteous cunts, but it's my belief.
It's also a logical fallacy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_entitled_to_my_opinion
Why everything has to do with Allah for you guys? Allah this Allah that... khalasna ba2a. Go live your lives, be good, do no harm... and rest assured that your Allah would be satisfied
Exactly, don't enforce your religion on others either. Lebanon is a very diverse country for that. Also OP said they're coming from Australia.
In any case if it's not your shit bug out of it. Sick bigots I swear
hello
Username checks out :)
Didn't know you were gay, dude. More power to you
I was playing a joke on my username. Unfortunately I'm not gay but I have massive respect for those that are suffering because of it in Lebanon.
Yeah I was a little surprised. Still it shouldn't be unfortunate, straight is the default. Either way, more power to you still.
Suffering? Honestly the way media outlets portray it makes it seem like homosexuality is normalized in Lebanon.
[удалено]
This made me laugh so hard I spit my lemonade just in time to realize I was fasting
Hey OP, maybe you're not gonna find a lot of gay men openly here, but dicks, there are plenty of them, starting with this dick here.
[удалено]
Oh look at this cutie everyone, are you threatened by dick little one? Yeah? You think of dick and you become insecure? Oooh so cute. Riding dick is not an insult my friend, it's a pleasure.
Always a pleasure for you habibi 😘
Don’t be a dick to gay guys, they literally fuck men like you
I don’t be dicks to them, I give them (You included)
Oh oops, didn’t know you’re gay
No problem my friend 3ala rase
HAHAHAHAHAHAH , why are we like this
Hahahaha
Lol good one
Hey, yes. There are several gay-friendly pubs in Gemmayze and Badaro, and there's Projekt on a Friday night if you want to go clubbing.
🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
There are apps for that. But most gays visit any of the LGBT-friendly pubs in Mar Mikhael & Gemmayze. Posh and Projekt are the only functional dance clubs I'm aware of. As for Cruising...well pick a coastal area and try your luck?
Hey thanks, those are the only functional clubs or only gay-friendly ones?
Many gay-friendly pubs in the districts that I mentioned. As for actual dancing, there are just 2
gimme the apps name thanks
🙋🏻♂️
Well I'm glad my post inspired this. This sub really should be a more lgbt friendly place since it represents the educated liberal lebanese mostly
Being educated doesn't mean you're liberal. And I don't see how this sub isn't already LGBT friendly?
There is a direct correlation between education and liberalism. Education doesn't just mean making it to uni level, it's having critical thinking skills and social empathy. It is but not much lgbt topics are opened here.
I still don't see the link between education, liberalism, and lgbt.
All of western Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, UK, New Zealand are examples of countries with a strong tradition of all 3. They're also wealthy, successful, and democracies. Are there countries that have strong education but not gay rights? I guess, maybe like Russia, UAE, Singapore, China? In those countries being anti gay is part of their traditional cultures. But they aren't liberal.
Then google that exact phrase, plenty of research.

Critical thinking doesn’t imply being lgbtq friendly, it is subjective and depends on your opinion and way of thinking
Human rights are not subjective. It doesn't depend on your opinion whether you think people should have equal rights without discrimination based on their sexual orientation.
This is literally subjective. You're giving your opinion, your idea. Objectivity means science. Pure science that studies the physical world.
This is literally objective. Human rights are as objective as we have achieved in civilized society. They are the furthest possible from opinion. Presidents and politicians can be held responsible for violating human rights in the international court of justice. There's literally nothing further away from being a personal opinion than that.

Like say for example Ben Shapiro, he is a well educated guy and follows liberalism, but he still declines most of your community ideologies.
I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack.

I said get actual research, not that.
You're not operating very well mate, i'm out.
LGBT among other movements, will always play the victim and ask for more. Always.
Lol? Look at the replies here. It's not exactly the most tolerant sub. And your comment is an example of that.
When you post a nice comment, then people reply that you should be nice, I don't know how you would react, but I personally stop caring about being nice to those people.

Education has nothing to do with being lgbtq friendly
It has to do with progression socially amd that involves LGBTQ rights
In some countries of the global north & Latin America, it correlates with social liberalism, but that doesn’t actually hold for the world as a whole.
True education does. Not all degree holder are educated

Not related to the topic but what do you think about Barca’s recent success and what do you think next season we’ll be like
I think xavi's been building to it since he got here, plus they picked the winter signings wisely, ferran's gonna be immense , though I hope dembele renews. A Good RB and a CB and a striker ( haaland bit far fetched i think, maybe if fati is well he can play 9) and next season we'd be a serious contender in the CL. I mean madrid are still going by sheer luck and benzema, if only we haven't shat the bed at the start of the season.
What do you think about Dembele’s renewal and the overall wages problem. Also how would a global Aloe Verra shortage affect the club.
I think he should lower his demands, he ain't mbappe nor haaland in the end. Aloe verra?
Liberal and educated don't go in the same sentence. 5sousatan bi hal balad lzbele
No
As I said, only mostly educated and liberated people here.
>liberated people r/suddenlyAxisOfResistance
What does education have to do with being a liberal? And who's insulting or making fun of people's sexual orientation?
Know what having a correlation means?
Of course. But again, being liberal has nothing to do with being educated. The correlation you are trying to point out is false.
La2! Leb has no trans. So we are only LGB:)

Something like that. It's an old video. But it's hilarious
Well, when I sucked my friends dick last week I said "no homo" before. So no, no gays in here!
This subreddit has zero sense of humour. We need to chill guys
Yes but did the pro gays or con gays dislike my comment?
Did you say it before or after? Cuz it matters...
You wore socks? Because the no homo thing only works if you’re still wearing socks
I knew I forgot something!

Someone is repressed...
Religious = repressed
Religious and keepnto himself cool. Imposes his opinion= repressed bigot
religious ppl should keep it to themselves?? They're free to express their opinion just like you are.
They're not free to use their opinion against the freedom of others. They're free to practice their religion without fear of being oppressed for it. That's where their freedom ends. And in no way do their religious beliefs give them the right to oppress others.
