Beirut Pride 2018 was launched on May 12, with a brunch celebrating "parents who preserved their families, who did not reject their children when they came out as homosexuals, or at least, who sought for family to stay composed." 
Fahari ya Beirut 2018 ilizinduliwa hapo Mei 12 wakati wa mlo wa mchana wakisherehekea "wazazi ambao wamezitunza familia zao, ambao hawakuwatenga watoto wao walipogundulika kuwa wanajihusisha na ngono za jinsia moja au angalau wazazi waliotaka kuziweka familia zao pamoja."
