#AtheistRepublic
The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
On June 26th, hundreds of people marched through the streets of Istanbul, Turkey, to demonstrate for the rights of LGBTQ+ community, despite the Turkish government banning the Pride parade since 2015. The Turkish authorities attacked and arrested many before the rally began. On the day of the event, protesters gathered with rainbow flags in the streets around Taksim Square, a location specifically known for being the epicenter of protests against the regime. The crowd raised the slogans, "The future is queer," and "We are here. We are queer. We are not going anywhere." The Turkish police arrested 373 participants at the Pride march. According to several eye-witnesses, the police tried to prevent the press from filming the conflict. Bulent Kilic, a veteran award-winning AFP photojournalist, was arrested at the scene. Amnesty International Turkey campaigner Milena Buyum said, "All those detained solely for their participation in Pride must be released immediately and unconditionally." Even though homosexuality has been decriminalized in Turkey since 1858, the LGBTQ community has faced increasing hostility from religious fundamentalists since the Islamic-conservative government led by the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan came into power.
