| Translation headline: The Perverted Chorus is Coming to Turkey |
'Perverted Chorus' unwelcome in 'Islamist' Turkey. (LouisFishman).
Major Istanbul Performing Arts center cancels event in Homophobic Move.
"Major scandal! [They] are coming to Turkey during Ramadan to spread Homosexuality!"Earlier this week, on the twitter waves, a homophobic news story hit the headlines. According to the Ihlas News Agency, an American gay chorus was set to come to Turkey to perform on stage, as well as to participate in Istanbul’s annual Gay Pride march.
According to the press report, the real aim of the group was to “spread homosexuality.” Even worse, this was set to happen during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
The story's source was the official press release of an conservative Islamic women's group, BILKA, that released an official statement concerning the event (which was featured in its entirety in the IHA story). The press release is filled with homophobic hate speech that warns of the imminent damage their visit could cause, and that they are expecting "serious steps to be taken to save Turkey from such sin."
It did not take no time at all for the pro-government press to pick up on this. and to spread even more hateful headlines: "The Perverted Chorus is Coming to Turkey". Hmmm....When will the U.S. and EU political Eunuchs find their balls to speak up against 'Islamist' Turkey, for human rights? Read the full story here.
