Laïque Pride

Lebanese Laïque Pride, also Laïque Pride, Laic Pride, or Secular Pride, is a Lebanese secularist group. It broadly advocates for secularism, women's rights, and media freedom. The group advocates for “equality among all Lebanese citizens and the separation of religion and politics.” The group is opposed to confessionalism.

Founded in either 2009 or 2010, "Lebanese Laique Pride" was originally created as a Facebook discussion thread on sectarianism. Within a matter of months, the group organized protests against sectarianism and in favor of "secular Lebanon" which roughly 7,000 attended.

In April 2010, Laïque Pride calling for “an end to the country's deep-rooted sectarian system” and for a “secular Lebanon.” In May 2012, Laïque Pride issued demands, four concerning women’s rights and two concerning media freedom. Laïque Pride also supports the enacting of a unified Civil Code for the Personal Status Law. On August 29, 2016, 70,000 gathered Martyrs’ Square in Beirut.
