KARACHI — A poster promoting an alleged LGBTQ party in Karachi has gone viral on Facebook, sparking curiosity and debate online. The event, titled “Lesboween,” is scheduled for October 30 at 9 PM. The poster did not disclose the venue, instead asking interested participants to inquire via direct message.
The Facebook post emphasized limited availability, stating, “Limited slots available. Registration closes at Oct 29.” The poster included an image of two women kissing, leading to speculation about the party’s theme, which reportedly combines Halloween celebrations with LGBTQ-friendly festivities.
Social media users have expressed mixed reactions. Some shared excitement over a safe space for LGBTQ individuals, while others criticized the event, citing prevailing social and religious values in Pakistan. The online debate highlights the sensitivity surrounding LGBTQ issues in the country.
No official information about the venue or organizers has been made public. Similar invitations for LGBTQ gatherings have circulated in recent years, but most remain private due to social pressures and legal concerns.
Experts note that events like these often spark controversy in Pakistan, where homosexuality remains socially taboo and legally restricted. Despite this, small private gatherings and online groups continue to provide spaces for LGBTQ individuals to connect and celebrate.
The Facebook post for the LGBTQ party reflects both the growing visibility of LGBTQ communities online and the challenges they face in organizing public events. Authorities have not commented on the invitation, and it remains unclear whether the gathering will take place as planned.
While social media reactions vary, the event has reignited discussions about LGBTQ rights, social acceptance, and freedom of expression in Pakistan.
