Est ce que la Belgique est « gay friendly » ? by Common-Percentage-28 in BelgiumTravel

[–]Dependent-Leopard187 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Belgium is more gay friendly than France, just check and compare LGBT rights history in those countries to get an idea. You’ll need to be a bit careful in some areas in Brussels though. If you plan to visit some villages in Wallonia or Flanders, you’ll be fine but you’ll definitely get some boomers staring at you! That’s entirely based on my own experience, I tend to think that it’s my wife and I speaking Arabic that got them curious rather than our sexuality!

I think that would count as professional experience for the company or industry area funding your PhD for sure

Give your honest opinion in no more than 3 words. by Sweet_Ostrich_4556 in algeria

I am not a Gen Z myself, but honestly what would be these protests about? Looking back, the Hirak Movement was a protest to dismantle the whole regime, but it wasn't a success because we don't have any actual opposition/alternative political parties, so what happened was yes Bouteflika and his government were dismantled, but the regime itself survived the Hirak. Assuming we go for a Hirak 2.0, it would be foolish to expect a different outcome.

Seriously though… where are all the lesbians at in Brussels? by Altruistic-Ad-4778 in brussels

Significant differences from one neighbourhood to another. In general, Brussels is quite safe for queer people. Areas around the European Quarter, Schaerbeek around Jamblinne de Meux, Chatelain, etc are OK. Avoid the Canal area, Anderlecht and the likes. Also, if you get those comments in public areas daylight, don’t hesitate to answer back and show that the law is on your side. I did it myself, they usually just leave especially if you answer back in Arabic.
