Meem Toronto م is a monthly social group for queer and trans people from the Arabic-speaking region. Meem symbolizes the queer Arabic terminology developed by activists in the late 90s in an effort to replace the pejorative terms used to historically harm queer and trans people. In Beirut, an organization by the same name was founded in 2007. Meem م is used as a collective name by many LGBTQ groups in the Arabic-speaking region, and now Toronto, too!

Our vibrant collective is intergenerational, secular, and invites LGBTQ folks who are from many different cultures across the Arabic-speaking region, including: Arab, Armenian, Assyrian, Syriac, Chaldean, Kurdish, Amazigh, and more!
