  • Discrimination at Saint-George Yacht Club & Marina (Beirut)

    The Anti Racism Movement in Lebanon is still trying to end the discrimination at beach resorts by not only naming and shaming as they did 2 years ago with Sporting Club, but also by reporting those who deny entry to foreign workers to the ministry of tourism, since a circular was issued a while ago banning discrimination at beaches and demanding fair treatment of all people, regardless of skin color, background, occupation, or nationality.

    Check the below video showing how some activists behind the Anti Racism Movement reported a discrimination act at the Saint-George Yacht Club and Marina.

    According to what they wrote in a blog post today, and as per the tourism police, Saint-George will be fined, and a date for the trial is currently being set.

  • Vibrator ad from the 60’s in Lebanon

    Good catch by @__marwan__! “Avenue des Français” is by the way what we now know as the Saint George area in Beirut.

    And believe it or not, vibrators were believed to be of medical use to cure what was called “Female hysteria” in the past!
