Helm, the Lebanese gay rights group is holding this
event in Beirut: "Who is Deviant?" will include the showing of 6 locally produced short films about homosexuality.(in Arabic)
Update: I tried to fix the link. But here's the invitation in words as I got it in my mailbox from Helm:
"Helem cordially invites you to attend the “Meen Shaz?” (“Who is Deviant?”), a celebration of the second International Day Against Homophobia on Wednesday, May 17. We will be screening six locally produced short films on homosexuality followed by a discussion session at the Monroe Hotel, Ain el Mreisseh, Beirut. The screenings will be preceded by a press conference in which Georges Azzi, coordinator of Helem, and Kamal Shayya, coordinator of Youth Advocacy Platform, will be speaking.
On Friday, May 19 we will be launching "Rouhab al Mithliyya" (Homophobia), a book published by La CD-Theque in collaboration with Helem. This edited anthology is the first book in the Arabic language to deal explicitly with the theme of homophobia in the Arab world. Drinks and food will be served, and there will be musical entertainment. Bring your friends!
