The First Lebanese Laïque Pride March

After months of incessant publicity by the Lebanese Laique Pride, more than 2,000 people took to the streets in Beirut to call for an end to the country's deep-rooted sectarian system.

Eighteen groups make up Lebanon's multi-denominational system, and the civic rights of the members of these groups are determined by their religious leaders rather than the government.
Only religious authorities can register marriages, births or death or rule on matters of inheritance - so all Lebanese end up having different rights.
