A Lebanese dancer defies extremist threats and social norms with his sold-out performances
by Malak Harb and Kareem Chehayeb
September 13, 2025Excerpt: "#AlexandrePaulikevitch put on his white dress and wig and danced his way to center stage, knowing that the extremist groups who had threatened him before his controversial recital might be waiting for him outside the theater.
"The Lebanese dancer’s sold-out performance to a cheering crowd at a popular #Beirut venue had angered #fundamentalist movements ranging from the #RightWing #ChristianSoldiersOfGod to #SunniIslamists.
"The fundamentalists say Paulikevitch is 'promoting #homosexuality' because he wears dresses and corsets and undulates to classical Arabic music in a way which society largely sees as exclusive to women.
"Paulikevitch says he’s breaking social norms and reintroducing forms of dance that were commonplace for men as recently as the early 20th century.
"Lebanon is seen as a place of relative tolerance in the region when it comes to #LGBTQ+ rights, following years of #activism from the #QueerCommunity and supporters. But the community still faces restrictions and even violence."

For #TwoSpirits, An Opportunity To Reclaim Acceptance Across #IndianCountry
#KLCC | By Brian Bull
Published November 29, 2018"The term '#TwoSpirit' in #NativeAmerican culture often describes a person possessing both male and female spirits. And they’ve been around well before the Santa Maria or the Mayflower dropped anchor. And while 'Two Spirit has been used for Indians who identify as gay, bisexual, or transgender…many say there’s more to it than that. KLCC’s Brian Bull explores a community that’s finding its voice again after generations of oppression, prejudice, and oversight.
"This summer, the annual #Powwow in #SiletzOregon presented something subtle…yet powerful.
"A new sign affirming tribal members could compete in the gender category of their preference debuted at this year's annual #SiletzPowWow.
"Lisa Norton, a member of the #ConfederatedTribesOfSiletz Indians, explains.
"'It’s a competition pow-wow, so people dance in categories…traditionally male or female.
"'So one of the things we wanted to do was #ungender that, so we were able to post a sign that said we were an open and affirming pow-wow. And that people could feel free to compete in the category they desired.'
"It was the first time such a sign was posted at the event. This pleased #JackieCloud, a Chippewa who identifies as a 'Two Spirit'.
"'And I also saw Two Spirit individuals out there dancing. And I was like, 'YEAH! Cool!'
"Cloud joined the other dancers.
"'Y’know there’s that twinge of excitement, exhilaration, oh like…it’s okay. And I commented to someone that I was with there at the pow-wow, and she said, 'That’s where we need to be. That’s where we need to be going.'
"'And so I was very proud of the tribe of #Siletz to…to acknowledge that.'"
