Transgender Workshop
August 3, 2008
Meem was
delighted this month to host Sinan Goknur, a transgender
activist from Lambda Istanbul and WWHR-New Ways in
Turkey, who spoke about his experience as a feminist
trans-guy. Sinan presented a paper about transphobia,
gender identity, and the role of transgenders in the
LGBT struggle. He also met several times with small
groups of Meem members to talk more about transgender
and queer theory. You can read his full paper entitled
"What Happened to the T in LGBT?" here.

A Huge
Rainbow Flag on a Busy Beirut Highway!
June
1, 2008
Despite
having to postpone the event for 2 weeks because
of the outbreak of violence for 10 days in May,
Helem organized a packed program for the
International Day Against Homophobia on May 31,
2008 at the Art Lounge in Beirut. The
documentaries, panels, testimonies, and
performances were great, but the biggest source
of pride was the huge rainbow flag covering the
building visibly on the Beirut highway. It gave
us all goose bumps! More on IDAHO soon. |
