Turkey conducts crackdown on LGBTQ community amid political pressure

Turkey LGBTQ rights Recep Tayyip Erdoğan political crackdown civil liberties

The Turkish government is conducting a crackdown on the LGBTQ community, including raids, arrests, and investigations targeting organizations, activists, and artists. According to Macit Karaahmetoğlu, President of the German-Turkish Society, these actions are being carried out under the guise of protecting families and children.

Karaahmetoğlu argues that the government is using a moralized narrative, specifically through an operation named 'My family is safe,' to stigmatize queer individuals and frame them as a security threat to conservative citizens. This strategy is viewed as a political move to intimidate liberal segments of society.

The crackdown follows significant political pressure on President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, stemming from losses in the 2024 local elections and the subsequent mass incarceration of elected opposition mayors.
