We’re Going to the Streets!
May 8th, 2011 § 34 Comments
If the walls of Gemmayze, Hamra, Spears & Monot could talk, they would say:
“I lost my new job because of my new boyfriend”
“ما بقا بدي اسمع: عقبالك”
“Enough! It’s my turn to tell my story”
The team behind the IDAHO-Lebanon website is going to the streets to encourage people to share their stories about facing homophobia.
Check out those cool flyers we’ve posted so far!
Special thanks to my friends who helped me in printing & posting the flyers in the wee hours of the morning! You were right…couldn’t have done this alone. I’m glad I didn’t. 
If you want to spread the word, print some of those flyers our Art Director designed, & post them on the streets yourself, contact me! =)

Thanks 4 ur constant support Aline =)
Oh wow that’s great ! don’t forget to print it in arabic too and in french !
We did print in Arabic, but French no. Any ideas on some French sentences?
What about “Je ne suis pas gay mais mon copain l’est” LOL
that’s genius.
10x Nathan! If you’re interested in putting up some of those posters in some neighborhood, let me know =)
Ouch, the one in green is so sad, but I know it is a reality for a lot of women in Lebanon.
Great job guys!
Thank u Riham! =)
Man, this is amazing! Great job! I’m so proud!
I’m totally printing some.
Speaking of flyers, you see the last picture? There’s this flyer with ‘Green Your Culture’ on it. It’s like an art and music expedition in Sanayeh. Are you going?
Alright. Thanks for volunteering!
I saw the time of this event but I’ll be busy Saturday afternoon! It sounds rly cool though!
Hehe, I’m going xD it’s 5 minutes away from my house.
Only one question about the flyers: do you have any templates or do I make my own?
No they’re already done. Check ur email =)
Bought the coloured paper today, and printed them, only I want to know: what kind of glue should I use?
