The LGBTI community in Turkey face real dangers. In 2015, the
Turkish police interrupted the LGBTI Pride march in Istanbul, using
tear gas and rubber bullets against the marchers. This marked the
first attempt by the authorities to stop the parade by force, and
similar actions occurred the following year. Here, Fait Muedini
examines these levels of discrimination in Turkey, as well as
exploring how activists are working to improve human rights for
LGBTI individuals living in this hostile environment. Muedini bases
his analysis on interviews taken with a number of NGO leaders and
activists of leading LGBTI organisations in the region, including
Lambda Istanbul, Kaos GL, Pembe Hayat, Social Policies, Gender
Identity and Sexual Orientation Studies Association (SPoD), and
Families of LGBT's in Istanbul (LISTAG). The original information
provided by these interviews illuminate the challenges facing the
LGBTI community, and the brave actions taken by activists in their
attempts to challenge the state and secure sexual equality.
