Social media platforms have become an important arena for sexual politics equipping queers with safe alternative spaces while pushing their visibility and connectivity forward. My article examines two Lebanese queer Instagram accounts analyzing their contribution to the current construction of Lebanese queer identity. I examine how the tactic employed by each account is generating queer realities, meaning, and embodiment. While “Artqueerhabibi," use the medium of comics, to reimagine a different queer reality creating a sense of belonging to the uprising community, “Takweer” archive queer Arab history and popular culture. The archive not only revives the long wiped queer history but also informs both the present and the future as the content comes back to life through discussions and responses.Queer here is used both as an identity and an adjective to describe how both accounts are unsettling the normative understanding of sexuality and gender expression, besides raising new meanings and possibilities for local sexual politics
