Possibly the sole organisation for people who have different (with respect to our very normal society) sexual preferences like gays, lesbians etc, has been shutdown by the court on the grounds of:
- protection of the family as an institution
- violation of Civil Code stating no immoral organisation can be founded
- failure to mention the meaning of “lambda” in Turkish in the official name of the organisation.
Honestly, I do not know what to say but “gloomy days ahead!” or something similar, but since we started, let us analyse our exponentially improving democracy in Turkey a little bit in the light of this court decision.
