Homosexuals in Lebanon! New Pink Dollar Equation!

One eyewitness reported his friend was dancing on the bar when he was asked to step down for “they” wanted to talk with him outside. There, he was addressed as a "Lotti"(check below) while they took him on the police jeep awaiting outside. The night resulted in 11 arrested men who stayed in detention till Tuesday morning.
