World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported59m ago
Turkish police conducted a series of raids on Sunday targeting gay bars and the private residences of LGBTQ+ activists, resulting in dozens of arrests. The operation was carried out by authorities in Turkey amid a broader government initiative described as the "Decade of the Family."
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has framed this campaign as a measure intended to protect children and the institution of the family. Conversely, human rights organizations in the country have characterized these actions as a targeted effort by the government to use family-values rhetoric to suppress the LGBTQ+ community.
