    Turkey bans all LGBT events in capital to 'protect public security'

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a8063526.html

    Turkey has banned all events by lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex rights groups in its capital city, Ankara.

    The ban has been imposed to protect “public security”, the Ankara governor’s office said.

    The restrictions came into effect on Saturday and will last for an “indefinite” period, applying to all LGBTI film screenings, theatres, panels and exhibitions.

    The governor’s office claimed such events may cause animosity between different groups and endanger “health and morality”, as well as the rights and freedoms of others.

    It warned some groups may be provoked by LGBTI events and take action against participants due to “certain social sensitivities”.
    Why are human rights going backwards in Turkey?

    They're doing it wrong. Their job should be protecting the movements that are not hurting anyone. But thinking what logo is in the country's flag, it doesn't surprise me.

    Anti-human rights and reason why people are more and more avoiding to travel there. Same with Russia.

    Because the country is led by a man who is basically a dictator at this point

    About time Turkey is kicked out of the EU/NATO/etc, a 3rd world country like this has no place in the EU.

    Turkey never was in the EU, and seeing how Erdogan goes dictator and full Tsundere on Europe ("B-baka, it's not that I want to be in the EU! You are just begging to get me to it!"), they probably never will.

    What you mean they are not as acceptable of differences as west culture? But that goes against everything they tell me on liberal arts courses!

    Quickly, someone insert something about bathrooms here!

    It's an absurd alphabet fucking soup, that's what it is.

    There's no need for anything beyond gay and lesbian. Especially the TIAQQPALKJMNLDKJBHSLDKJHKJ.

    From the way I understand the abbreviations, LGBT all have some or another purpose. To me everything is basically just repeating some or another variant of these. but then again, I may just not be educated enough on the issue to understand all the subtleties.

    Since pretty much all the posting thus far is treading on sexuality discussions or religion-bashing, locking this here before it gets worse.
