7:09Now PlayingThe Turkish government had banned a gay pride parade in Istanbul because of violent threats made by right wingers. This is the second year in a row the parade has been cancelled. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"An annual gay pride march in Istanbul planned for later this month will not be allowed to take place, the Turkish city's authorities have said.
A statement cited "safeguarding security and public order" as the reason for calling off the event.
The order means anyone taking part risks facing intervention by the security forces.
Organisers of the march have denounced the ban as a "flagrant violation of the constitution and the law".
They said the city authorities were failing in their duty to protect the rights of citizens to exercise their rights, and that they would launch legal action.
Security in the city is already tight after bombings in recent months blamed on Islamic State (IS) and Kurdish militants.”*
