Social Policy Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Researches Association (SPoD) has launched solidarity campaign with the hashtag #aşkkazanacak against the threats targeting the Pride Parades in İstanbul.
The SPoD asks everyone to “stand by us against the ones who try to intimidate us with hate speech and threats”.
What had happened?
The LGBTI Pride Parade being organized over 13 years was tried to be obstructed by the police for the first time last year.
Following the Orlando attack which claimed lives of 49 homosexuals, some groups in Turkey had issued threat messages and attack calls on the 7th İstanbul Trans Pride Parade to be held on June 19 and 14th İstanbul LGBTI+ Pride Parade to be held on June 26. (ÇT/TK)
