[align=justify]George I didn't say I don't respect others, but it doesn't mean I HAVE to enjoy it to show respect as well.
I'm free to express what I felt that night without offending anyone. I was bothered by their looks to me and Saleem. You're being too idealistic Georges. I don't care whether there were gays/lesibians or not unless they stay AWAY FROM ME. I do accept people the way they are but not till the point they get me involved in their acts! And yes it is annoying to see gays whom I don't know dancing next to me and staring at me. And where's my freedom?!
Hope I made my point clear now.[/align]

I get your point Tala, sometimes seeing people 'get down' in public can be disturbing, be it both male+ male or male+ female. If you meant 'seeing the guys getting publicially explicit' was distrubing then thats totally acceptable. Then again, men stare at females all the times regardless of sexuality, and i dont think any of these gay clubbers meant any intentional harm by taking a few looks at anyone.

OM is a venue that hosts 2 predominantly gay nights weekly, hence the frequenting of gay clubbers is regular even on mixed nights. Lebanon may be a 'conservative' country but times are changing and acceptance of others is inevitable, especially in the dance community.

OM has been battling homophobia since it recently re-opened, trying tirelessly to promote nights out for a mixed crowd. Strangley enough, alot of young Lebanese heterosexual clubbers decide to not come out to some of the best nights in town simply due to the fact that there might be some homosexual clubbers. In my opinion, thats the same as saying "im not going out to see some of the best dj's in Beirut just because there are some blond people in the club."

Lebanese society is divided as it is, and i dont think we need to divide people more based on what goes on in their bedrooms Peace all, and looking forward to seeing more TH members at our upcoming parties.
