In the wee hours of Monday morning, 2 Lebanese bloggers took to the streets to ‘stop hate’, the best way they know how: ART.
LM and Karim created this awesome graffiti in the Monot area (Petro Trad street next to USJ to be exact).
Go and check it out for yourself. Looks amazing.
While many people go out of their way to spread hate, ignorance, (fill in the paranthesis)-ism and (fill in the paranthesis)-phobia, it’s so refreshing to see what others can do to counter it, through art.
Really proud of you LM and Karim.
You gots balls and I’m inspayad!
Yay! You found it
Thank you BB!! Awesome pictures 😀
Found it after I walked twice on Huvelin St! Was gna give up…then it was there =D
It would be more effective if done in Arabic and in a more visible spot.
What is the translation of homophobia in Arabic anyway?
رهاب المثليّة
Still think it wud be better in Arabic? 😛
Maybe not better. Maybe more effective.
Love them! I’m gonna use the third one as a cover for our facebook page 🙂
Are the killings still happening? I heard about the whole manjam thing…
No, but there was this article that caused a lot of controversy last week! Check the recap here 🙂

ps: what manjam thing?
Haha thanks for the link, the article AND the responses were both very amusing. Albeit nothing ‘new’ in my nor your book, most ME’ers are f-ing ignorant on the subject.
Uh haters were making fake profiles on manjam and hunting down gay guys in Leb, Syra, and Iraq on there (and probably having sex with a few along the way 😛 )
