Turkish police chase and detain activists at Istanbul's Trans Pride Parade, June 18, 2023.

Police sealed off Istanbul's city center to block participants of the Trans Pride Parade who had come to march against the discrimination of transgender people, despite officials banning Trans Pride festivities on Sunday.

Marchers gathered in Harbiye, a neighborhood in Istanbul, after police took intensive security measures in and around Taksim Square, blocking it from those planning to attend a Pride event.

Turkish officials have banned such events in previous years. The Turkish government under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly expressed strong anti-LGBTQ sentiments.

As a Greek, my respect for Turkey has increased tremendously. Protect your country from these heathens my fellow neighbors.

My message from America, my fallen homeland, to Turkey, and every other place that values the safety and innocence of children: you did not act against this evil to have the respect of foreigners, but you surely have mine. Do not let your society crumble, and your children be harmed in mind, body, and spirit, for the sake of outside opinions. Stay strong, don't back down, and don't end up like we did, a cesspool of filth and perversion where naked grown men and young children dance for each other in nightclubs and on the streets. Protect your culture and your children!

First they cause chaos, and then act innocent. What a disgrace.

Bu videodaki dünyanın dört bir yanından yapılan yabancı yorumlar beni mutlu etti. Adamlar polislerin tavrını gayette beğenmiş bize nasihatta bulunuyorlar kültürünüzü koruyun sonunuz bizim gibi olmasın bizler böyle özgürlük ayaklarına çocuklarımızı ve aile kurumumuzu kaybettik diye.
