Reports (3)
  • Newer law has been passed "In the source its written hate against sex, not sexual orientation and gender identity. Please research the situation in Turkey, there is no law in their constitution declaring sexual orientation and gender identity "
  • Status is not correct " De facto discriminiation exists and the Hate Speech law doesnt contain LGBT individuals. "
  • Status is not correct "Right now in Turkey, the state organizes lgbt hate parades under the name of protecting our families and they share public announcements on tv that says "say not to lgbt propaganda they are turning our kids lgbt say stop to these perverts. The state & government does many hate propaganda against indiviuals so i cant say that there is discrimination law when the state itself does the hate propaganda "
