Abstract
The LGBTQ+ community makes up a solid chunk of the Lebanese population. In the following pages, the atrocious life of this discriminated minority in Lebanon will be discussed as well as its effects on individual members of this community. This article also discusses the complicated patchwork of laws and jurisprudence governing the establishment of LGBTQ+ rights in Lebanon.
In general, the prejudicial treatment applied to the LGBTQ+ community in Lebanon is far more than a simple national issue that should be tackled, it’s a matter of basic human rights being at stake.
