Homosexuality in Lebanon - Tahkik on MTV

This show was disturbing and off topic.

Instead of focusing on discrimination, on the violation of our rights, Tahkik talked about homosexuality, like if it was a disease (Yes, they used the D-word), interviewing a very badly informed doctor and a psychologist...

They talked about online dating, and about the guy's role in bed! How is this supposed to help the Lebanese LGBT community who is still fighting for their rights?

Why do you need to talk about sex? How is this going to grab the straight viewers' attention? 

How many Lebanese gay men are online? No need to know this either! How to get a guy's phone number? Uh huh, no!

Talking about a gay dating website

They showed hanged people in Iraq! How are people going to react to this? Pity? We don't need your pity!

The only thing I appreciated was that a gay man, a transgendered woman and a gay couple talked on national TV. Even though the couple didn't want to show their face, I thought it was really brave! 

I went to bed after Randa's testimony, sleepy and disappointed, but I read all of LebLGBTMonitor's tweets and re tweets who did a great job motivating everyone to talk and write about it. :-)

Another thing that disappointed me (more like disgusted me) was all of the homophobic comments I read while watching the show online.
