that erdogan even thinks his country will become part of the eu…
Frankly I’m surprised they’re even in NATO.
With big military and startegic position they are one of the most important countries for the alliance. Therefore they also have the cabability to start a circus like they did with Finland and especially with Sweden.
The title is misleading.
*He was detained for participating in an “eventful” Pride march.
*On the bus, Chechens said he “looked like a gay”.
According to him.
EDIT: I did not claim that Turkish people are not homophobic. I did not minimize the injustice suffered by the Portuguese man. Why are you downvoting this?
He claims he didn’t participate.
So do we believe the people who lock people up for being gay or the gay dude thrown in prison for 20 days for looking gay?
Turkey doesn’t lock people up for being gay. Homosexuality was never criminalised. Public displays of affection are another issue but just being gay, no.
That doesn’t line up with a single person’s version of the story.
He says he was locked up for looking gay, Turkey claims they locked him up for being at a pride event.
Neither of those are public displays of affection.
Bootlicker
Just because someone is gay or got called gay doesn’t mean that they’ve been arrested for being gay. Laws surrounding demonstrations are illiberal enough on their own to result in getting locked up.
