Largest ever Arabic language LGBTQ campaign launched across Israel

Israel's largest-ever public campaign in support of LGBTQ people in Arab society has been launched across the country by Beit el-Meem - the organization set up specifically to help LGBTQ people in Arab communities.

The organization has placed dozens of signs around the country, including in Nazareth, Iksal and Kafr Kanna, with the slogan "There is a home for all sexualities and gender identities in Arab society" in the largest campaign of support for LGBTQ people that Israel's Arab sector has seen.

The campaign is part of a larger project aimed at creating solutions, institutions and infrastructure for LGBTQ Arabs in Israel.

Beit el-Meem operates an Arabic language hotline five days a week from Sunday-Thursday and offers both free psychological and legal assistance to those who need. They also hold various meetings and social events year-round.
