Cumhurbaşkanı ve Dönem Milletvekili Genel Seçimi yaklaşırken siyasi partilerin LGBTİ+’lara yönelik ifadeleri de sertleşti. Hem muhalefet hem de iktidar bloğundaki bazı siyasetçiler birbirlerini LGBTİ+ savunucusu ya da destekçisi olmakla suçlarken, LGBTİ+’lara dönük nefret dili de siyasette sıklıkla yer buluyor.

Cumhurbaşkanı Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ve diğer Cumhur İttifakı siyasetçileri seçim kampanyasında sıkça LGBTİ+ karşıtı politikalar ortaya koyuyor.

Millet İttifakı'nın ortak mutabakat metninde ise LGBTİ+ haklarını kapsayan bir vaat olmadığı gibi, parti liderlerinin LGBTİ+’lar hakkında beyanlarında bir görüş birliği de bulunmuyor.

Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan, özellikle Nisan ayından itibaren Millet İttifakı’nın LGBTİ+ savunucusu olduğuna dair çok sayıda açıklamada bulundu. Erdoğan çoğu konuşmasında Millet İttifakı’nı “LGBT’ci olduklarını kabul etm

"Big Family Gathering" against LGBT propaganda in İstanbul ended with a silent march

President of Üsküdar University Psychiatrist Prof. Nevzat Tarhan said that "The global gangs that propagated ‘nonbinary’ at the Paris Olympics are the same gangs that are currently supporting the genocide in Gaza."

The "Big Family Gathering and Silent March" organized by the Big Family Platform against LGBT propaganda and imposition with the slogan "Stop this wanton raid" ended in Fatih.

Gay & LGBTI+ Friendly Clubs in Istanbul

Istanbul, the cultural capital of Europe, is a city brimming with history, architecture, and a growing LGBTQ+ scene. As a bridge between Europe and Asia, Istanbul has been influenced by both continents, resulting in a diverse and welcoming atmosphere for all visitors. The city's gay districts, Taksim and Beyoglu, are home to numerous gay bars, clubs, and venues that cater to LGBTQ+ individuals and allies.

A Welcoming and Lively Nightlife

When the clock strikes midnight, Istanbul's gay nightlife comes alive. While some clubs and bars start filling up around am, others verb their doors earlier. Saturdays are the busiest nights, followed closely by Fridays. Special events and occasions can also attract crowds on other days of the week, although Mondays tend to be quieter as locals recover from a long Sunday night.

Unlike in some other cities, most gay bars and clubs in Istanbul do not have gloomy rooms or allow sexual intimacy. However, kissing and hugging are generally accepted and encouraged. These establishments provide sa

How LGBT+ individuals were criminalized with the withdrawal of the Istanbul Convention?

"During the process that led to the withdrawal from the Convention, the rainbow flag became an foe and was banned. LGBT+ individuals' entire existences were criminalized, and they were subjected to threats of violence. With the withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention, LGBT+ lives and the right to live were disregarded."

Thus stated Att. Seher Duygu Çildoğan, director of the LGBT+ Rights Centre at the Ankara Bar, during her address to the Council of State. As the president of the panel of judges, Yılmaz Akcil, stated, "it was his first in the history of the Council of State." Çildoğan did in fact attain a first. That is, it was the first time in the Council's history that the names of slain trans women and LGBT+ individuals were mentioned. Çildoğan spoke directly to the panel about LGBT+ rights in the large courtroom, describing how LGBT+ individuals were targeted both before and after the Convention's withdrawal, and argued the assertion that "the Convention legitimizes homosexuality" was
