Thousands marched for Laique Pride in Beirut, Lebanon on Sunday, April 25, 2010 promoting a change in their country’s politics. Eschewing a sectarian religious rule to an egalitarian secularized government, they are beginning, not as a new political party, but as a grass roots organization. They draw inspiration from the words of the Lebanese Constitution, which claims that government must grant equality of rights and duties to all its citizens without preference or discrimination. Founded by a group of young Lebanese, who find the status quo a recipe for injustice and inequality that has producd a stalemate in resolving the differences based on religious affiliation, Laique Pride believes a secular, civil code and rule by law, not religion is the answer.
