MP Mark Daou denied in a tweet on X (formerly Twitter) that he was expelled during his attendance at a funeral in the Al Haidar Hall in the city of Choueifat by the locals and the city's sheikhs, due to his recent stances on homosexuality. Daou tweeted: "To cut off the road to false news, I attended and accepted condolences with the family of the deceased and her children Faras and Fadi in the Al Haidar Hall, and we were by their side as if I were part of the family. We performed our duty with loving and loyal friends from Choueifat. I was surprised to see statements published that were completely contrary to what actually happened, from habitual instigators, and we will not allow the fabrication of false news to disturb the family's mourning and their reputation and the city of Choueifat. This clarification was necessary. For those who want to discuss politics, they can do so, but if they attempt to instigate tensions within the community, we affirm that we stand united with our people, no matter their efforts."
Daou also commented on the controversy surrounding the film "Barbie" in Lebanon, which divided politicians into supporters and opponents of its release. He responded on X: "He hides behind his desk and remains concealed, using Kamal Jumblatt’s stature to give himself some value. He hides behind weak constitutional arguments that first-year students would answer, uttering accusations, insults, and malicious and false attributes that reveal the ugly and dirty truths within him." He added: "When an official person sinks to such depths, watching Barbie becomes a better use of time than wasting it on him."
Daou, along with several MPs, proposed a law aimed at abolishing Article 534 of the Lebanese Penal Code.
