The conservative AKP government of Turkey has repeatedly banned all Pride marches since 2014. AKP politicians—including president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan—and pro-government media continue to target and marginalize the LGBTQ community, calling them “perverts” and a threat to Turkish and Islamic values. Nevertheless, LGBTQ activists attempted to organize a Pride parade in the central Taksim neighborhood in the capital city of Istanbul on Sunday, June 26, and police met them with tear gas and rubber bullets, arresting hundreds in the process. Journalists, videographers, and TRNN contributors Daniel Thorpe and Murat Bay report from Istanbul.

Well done Turkish police
The lesbian woman should look to western country's and realize that trans rights exclude gay, lesbian, woman and most important children's rights….
Homosexuality is not a crime in Turkey, but keep that "Pride" in your pants!
Respekt for Turkey from Poland.
Ne oldu Katıldınız mı ? yoooooooooo becereksizler sizi.
Every gay person should wear a t shirt saying " Thanks to straight people that i am here"
From America, I fully respect and support the Turkish police forces dealing with these criminals. Do not have mercy and do not give them an inch of freedom. Save your children. Save your future.
what we're afraid is the G.A.Y viruses that's been spreading wild
And theres literally no cure for it
worse case: people that are infected are spreading it to childrens, teens, minors and whatnot.
future generation will be demolished
One of my friend's family in Turkey is going through this. I wanted to know why are they detaining members of the LGBTQ+ community? What's the matter exactly? No offense but here is what I want to say:
I noticed people saying things like – "you don't have a place in this land!" – so my question is for them. The one whom you called God.. is the one who has created everything and everyone. So Insulting his creation is the same as insulting your God. So don't fake it by saying, "God is great!" when you don't respect his creations on Earth.
And know that the KARMA also exists. It's real and not a joke. If today.. you're not accepting a community or people, tomorrow Karma may bless you with a child deserving the same community.
So, I just wanted people to know this, too. The hard rules should only be imposed on those who commit wrong things and promote unethical stuff, no matter whether they're men, women, or both.
Its your good luck that still you are alive . There is no place of any LGBTQ in the country of sulten mehmat , sultan hamid।
Save the city of Islam from dirty people.
I love turkey police for not putting up with this. As a united states citizen the United States police need to be like them.
Now that the crackdown is known to the world and they don't give a damn about it, Turkey's parliament should criminalize L.G.B.T.Q. activities.
Toma is waiting for you!
why they need to march and disturb those who don’t like them?
Boşuna Zaman öldürüyorsunuz iğrenç topluluk.
Great job by Turkish police❤️
I don't care because there going to hell I pray for them change so yea
