Guys In Beirut Too Gay Says Mohamed Eskander محمد إسكندر - ضد العنف


God loves a man like Mohamed Eskander, he is a whistle blower on all gross things he sees. In his first hit, he professed his love, in the second one he spoke of gross bosses who harass female employees, then he spoke ill of those plastic surgeries and beauty fads.

But his next song, music video is his boldest yet. Gay men in Beirut will bring the end to humanity says the song. Boys playing with dolls and makeup, then they are wearing their mothers shoes. Years later, they are checking themselves out in the mirror in self love. So, here's the takeaway, let your boy play with other boys in the street.

Using lotion and moisturizing. The results are creepy, guys do not look at women anymore. and leave them alone on the dance floor to go have an encounter in the restroom with some other dude. He has the looks of a guy, but the gestures and manners of a women...says the song. Gyms do not help either.

I do not think, this song is anti gay, it's about manning up a little. Beirut can use a bit of that, everything has become so PC and guys are told to be cool and not jealous. Watch the clip and let me know your thoughts. On a personal side, I had a lot of American women tell me about soft Arab men in Beirut and in closet gay Arab men.
    
I don't know why Eskander keeps tackling big social issues in his songs, but he sure seems undeterred.  It might be a blessing that most of his songs are written by his own song, Fares. Farie is a well known lyricists in Lebanon whose work is celebrated by the A list entertainers.  On a clever note, titling the song "Against Violence" might curb some attacks on this song. No one is calling for violence against anymore, this is an issue of great importance for many people.
