Takes some guts to share the stage with some real queens, honey.

The pics were taken when Haifa supposedly attended a gay club in Turkey back in 2010.

Way to represent, Haifa!

And here she is with her husband.

To whoever wrote this…What the fuck is wrong with you?

“Be Sinkara or Milenga”? “They do work all the month to get it”?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

It’s gay people who have made your bar the success that it is. Gay people who, just like “Sinkara” and “Milenga” are oppressed, made fun of, bullied, and beat up everyday.

Would you like it if a bar wrote this invitation? “This Friday night, be foufou and louteh. Create your own fag costume. Speak like them. Walk like them. Talk like them. Look like a tobjeh.”

You’ve made your bar a safe haven for gays who want to feel free and unchained for a couple of hours.So it’s even more shameful that such an offensive “party invitation” could come from a place who supposedly spreads tolerance and equality!

You should know better.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

White shirt.

Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn.

It was like James Dean, for sure.

You so fresh to death & sick as ca-cancer.”

“I will love you till the end of time.

I would wait a million years.

Promise you’ll remember that you’re mine.

Baby can you see through the tears?”

…but i finally watched Ice Age!

Yeah Yeah. That 2002 movie everyone has seen.

What was I thinking NOT deciding to watch it when I was 14??!! Maybe I thought I was too old for that type of movie!???!

Well I didn’t feel too old this time around!

The movie definitely hit home as a gay man:

A family is a family, no matter how non-traditional it is.

ps: I love that the film included a gay Rhino couple: Frank and Carl. That was surprising!

If only people took care of their heritage…

Congrats to the three below tweeps for making it on the list!

(This in no way suggests that the tweeps are gay themselves or even gay supporters! For example, @JohnyFarrina could just be asking @HaririSaad if he agrees gays should be given equal  rights. It’s just a question, not a declaration of support.)

And now…to the bad tweets of the week…

Ay, ay, ay. People…

You should learn that “gay” isn’t an adjective you use when you want to imply something is “bad”.

And if you do, come on, you should know better.

Nonetheless, congrats for making it on the list!

(This in no way suggests that the below tweeps are straight or antigay. There are many gays out there who use the fucked up “that’s so gay” expression)

See you next Tuesday!

If you only knew how similar we actually are, you and I.

We both order the same meal at the same restaurant.

We both like fast cars.

We both laugh hysterically when our friend trips and falls on his face.

We both donate blood to a total stranger.

We both tutor our little brother in math.

We both have had our heart broken.

We both cry when our parent dies.

We both get sad when people die in an Ashrafieh building collapse.

So how are we different?

Because I go to bed with men and you go to bed with women?

Don’t judge me before you get to know me. We’re not that different, you and I.

Seedy or seedless, we both come from the same Calamanteen.

The fruit’s actually spelled Clementine, but “Calamanteen” is how we pronounce it in our household.

How I can let a total stranger, a person I’ve known for 2 hours, experience one of the most intimate moments you can have with a person. Cause I don’t care.

How I can deny a lover that same experience. Cause I care.

One of the things that make it hard for gay guys to have sex is that most Lebanese guys live with their parents until the age of…well…infinity!!

Doesn’t matter if we’re in our late twenties or our mid thirties, we’re still living in our parents’ house! It’s in the Lebanese culture.

So if you wanna have sex with a guy and you both live with your parents, where do you go?!

Of course it’s not just us gays that suffer from this dilemma, it’s also straight people. In fact, us gays and straights, united by our love for sex, are the ones keeping the “Dbayeh Marina” busy at 2 am!

But, really, it sucks to be a 20 something year old and not have a place of your own…

I’m tired of sleeping with men while their mom, grandmother, or brother is in the other room. Talk about a silent orgasm!!!

I wanna thank YOU for this amazing year.

You know who you are…

Gay and straight, you read my blog, commented, and showed your support

I got to share the Let Me In story with you. I went to the streets of Beirut for the IDAHO campaign with you. And I saw new gay Lebanese bloggers speak up! That was 2011.

Now let’s make 2012 another year worth remembering!

Stay tolerant. Stay safe. Stay sexy.
