the drag queens Latiza Bombé It is Emma Gration had their show interrupted in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, by religious conservatives.
At the time, Christians shouted homophobic slurs, according to a Reuters witness.
The presentation took place in a bar in the capital known for being a safe space for LGBTQIAPN+ people
The artists, who were assembled and produced, had to interrupt the presentation earlier after being alerted that angry men were nearby.
“We are here, we exist and nobody is going to silence us. However, sometimes, to continue doing what we are doing, we have to do it smart. Unfortunately, we have to stop the show”, said Emma from the stage.
The drag queens and a group of participants rushed to change their clothes as the worshipers approached and could be heard outside the venue. They spit and screamed that they were disgusted, according to the witness.
The group stayed hidden for 40 minutes while the artists removed their show clothes and makeup. Then they mingled with the audience.
