ISTANBUL (AFP) The fledgling homosexual movement in Turkey has ventured into the roughest of fields -- the macho world of football -- after a referee "came out" on television, dropping a bombshell in this football-mad country and leaving authorities confused.
Already stripped of his refereeing licence, Halil Ibrahim Dincdag, 33, vows to fight on to restore his career and, if need be, go as far as the European Court of Human Rights.
"I have not committed a crime, I have not defamed my profession. I'm only a homosexual," he told AFP from Istanbul, where he was on "self-exile" after leaving his home in Trabzon, a conservative bastion on the Black Sea coast.

The policy in all civilized nations should be, "No faggots need apply." In this particular case the pathetic Turk is actually in front of the decadent West.
F.uck an eye for an eye. You take my eye, and I will kill you, and all those you care about. That is our policy.

They say that homosexuality is a genetic phenomenon. And since the Ataturk, the father of Turks, was a homosexual, it is only natural that he passed on the gene to his children, the Turks.

This is the kind of thing you would expect in parts of countries like the United States which pay less attention to individual freedoms, by trying to ban sexualities

Ataturk was also a pedophile and a drunkyard.
Just like their muslim prophet Mohamed.

This is why the Turkish flag should be removed from the Europe & Russia forum. Its not even European or Russian, and is the cause of so much devolution in this forum. Why not put the Hungarian or Polish flag up there instead?

I don't think the tiny portion of Turkey that resides in Europe qualifies. Would the UK fit into some type of South American forum simply because it owns the Falklands?

No we dont want.

Young Iraqi gays find safe haven in Turkey
Thu Jun 18, 2009 7:44pm IST
By Khalid al-Ansary
ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Iraqi militants warned Ameer they would kill him for working with the U.S. military. Then he received a more chilling death threat -- for being gay -- so he sold his home in Baghdad and fled to Turkey.
Now the 28-year-old from a middle class family shares a small apartment in Istanbul with five other gay Iraqi men, exiles from a wave of intolerance, and says for the first time in his life he can express his sexual orientation in public.
Homosexuality is banned almost everywhere in the Middle East, but conditions for gays and lesbians in Iraq have become particularly dangerous since the rise of religious militias after U.S.-led forces removed Saddam Hussein six years ago.
"I could be tracked down and killed if I would say I am gay," Ameer told Reuters. "But here in Turkey we are treated as humans and we have rights, which is not the case in my country."
In Baghdad, he led his life in secret, without the knowledge of his family. In a country where homosexual acts are punished with up to seven years in prison, only his closest friends knew he was gay.
Ameer had stayed on after relatives fled Iraq's sectarian violence, living in a Shi'ite Muslim district and working for the Americans in the capital's heavily-fortified Green Zone.
Then the death threats started.
Sermons condemning homosexuality were given by clerics at Friday prayers in Sadr City, a sprawling Shi'ite slum, where six gay men were found murdered in March and April, four of them with Arabic signs reading "pervert" on their chests.
One local official, who declined to be identified, described the other two as "sexual deviants" and told Reuters the men had been killed by their tribes to restore their families' honor.
"NO MORE FEARS"
Sadr City is a bastion of support for fiery anti-American Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr and his Mehdi Army militia. The Mehdi Army has frozen its activities in the past year and Iraqi government forces have retaken control.
Many young men who might have cut their hair short and grown beards when religious gangs controlled much of Iraq now dress in a more Western style as government forces patrol the streets.
As a result, some are accused of being homosexual.
Ameer, who left Baghdad in June 2007, had an asylum request approved after three interviews at the U.N. headquarters in Ankara. He hopes one day to join relatives in the United States.
"Friends and cousins in the United States have told me I will enjoy the gay life there, and that I won't be embarrassed by this issue any more," he said.
For now, he is enjoying living in a secular Muslim country where he does not feel his life is at risk every day. He survives on the little money family members send him, while his flatmates earn about $500 a month washing cars.
"We have no more fears of Islamist threats here," said one of Ameer's friends, Safwan. "I would think 100 times before ever returning to Iraq."
Quoting a Turkish forumer:
"It's a well known fact that most of the boys or girls living in south-eastern Turkey are losing their virginities to horses or dogs of their villages, so I don't think this will suprise any Turk in this forum; we are used to these kinda news..."

I fail to see how being gay is a threat. No gay person has ever threatened me. Of course I am secure in who I am as a person. I strongly believe those who hate gays usually have homosexual tendencies. Or they need to hate gay people in an effort to try and justify their very real sexual perversions.
