Lebanese Laïque Pride, also Laïque Pride, Laic Pride,[1] or Secular Pride,[2] is a Lebanese secularist group. It broadly advocates for secularism, women's rights, and media freedom. The group advocates for "equality among all Lebanese citizens and the separation of religion and politics."[3] The group is opposed to confessionalism.

Founded in either 2009[4] or 2010,[5] "Lebanese Laique Pride" was originally created as a Facebook discussion thread on sectarianism.[4] Within a matter of months, the group organized protests against sectarianism and in favor of "secular Lebanon" which roughly 7,000 attended.[5]

In April 2010, Laïque Pride calling for "an end to the country's deep-rooted sectarian system" and for a "secular Lebanon."[5] In May 2012, Laïque Pride issued demands, four concerning women's rights and two concerning media freedom.[3][6] Laïque Pride also supports the enacting of a unified Civil Code for the Personal Status Law.[6] On August 29, 2016, more than 70,000 people gathered on Martyrs' Square in Beirut.
