These thugs just threatened LGBTi Pride with a public press conference

The paramilitary Turkish nationalist group Alperenler publicly threatens Pride March that is to happen in Taksim, İstanbul.

This group has been known to be hostile to many subcultures, doubtlessly homophobic but they were never as public as now. They surely rely on changing political conditions in Turkey and existing impunity in hate crime cases.

The Alperen Hearths, an ultranationalist youth organization linked to the nationalist Great Union Party (BBP), has threatened the LGBT Pride March set to take place on June 26 in Istanbul’s Taksim Square

An LGBT flag was hanged at the U.S. Consulate General in the İstinye district of Istanbul to commemorate the victims of the recent Orlando attack, which left 49 people dead and scores wounded
