Thousands marched in an anti-LGBTQ demonstration in Turkey on Sunday, marking the nation's political shift. “I feel like I can be publicly lynched,” says one drag performer, describing the daily sense of dread that comes with living in Istanbul.
ISTANBUL — The 25-year-old translator by day and trans drag performer by night felt overwhelming panic and anxiety whenin Turkey to demand a ban on what they consider gay propaganda and to outlaw LGBTQ organizations.
“We need to make all our defense against this LGBT. We need to get rid of it,” said construction worker Mehmet Yalcin, 21, who attended the event wearing a black headband printed with Islam’s testimony of faith. “We are sick of and truly uncomfortable that our children are being encouraged and pulled to this.”
“I feel like I can be publicly lynched,” Willie Ray said, describing the daily sense of dread that comes with living in Istanbul.
