Turkey defended an anti-gay tweet by the head of the Turkish Red Crescent, describing him as a victim of 'LGBT propaganda' after his comments were condemned by an international body.

ANKARA - Turkey defended an anti-gay tweet by the head of the Turkish Red Crescent, describing him as a victim of “LGBT propaganda” after his comments were condemned by an international body.

Kinik’s comments drew a rebuke from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies , the network of the movement’s national groups, where he serves as one of five vice presidents. Fahrettin Altun, Turkish presidency’s communications director, said on Twitter that “LGBT propaganda poses a grave threat to freedom of speech,” adding that the IFRC “became complicit in that attack by targeting” Kinik.Homosexuality is not a crime in Turkey, but hostility to it is widespread. Authorities have cracked down on LGBT events and marches. A 2019 report on LGBT rights from the advocacy group ILGA Europe ranked Turkey second to last of 49 countries.

It's okay

Why does the liberal western media which claims it champions freedom of speech and the right to cultural freedom brand opposition to LGBT activities homophobia?Is it not a human right to oppose what you don’t agree with?Such hypocrisy and selfishness are at the root of conflict.

All religions are against this curse.

Nobody likes nasty creatures

If I say there were EVE and ADAM, it is considered as a Hate speech?WTF!All parents must protect their children from this ilness.This is mental and bio ilness.And now social media promote an ilness with “courage”Do what ever you do at your home with respect to normal ppl.

Turkey is basically trump if he was a country.

I love how the western civilization talks about tolerance, freedom of speech & ideas etc. but when a different culture holds a different moral belief and stance, suddenly their famous tolerance disappears and they start to criticize it based on their own local values. hypocrisy

People are people. (Depeche Mode)

Fuck the international body, Muslims reject those dirty things.
