The Social Policies, Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Studies Association (SPoD) celebrated May 17 by launching a new e-Magazine, named “Çark”! Çark Mag aims to popularise community issues and events, covering LGBTI nightlife and community friendly places, culture and art-related news, reviews, and interviews, and will also collect relevant news from Istanbul and other cities in Turkey.

SPoD also hosted a panel and reception together with the Consulate General of the Netherlands on May 17 in dedication to the worldwide IDAHOT celebrations.

Kaos GL Association hosted IDAHOT actions for the 9th time this year with a chain of panels and social events in May. The theme of the 9th year was “resistance”, in reference to the nation-wide protests that started in May 2013 in Gezi Park.

The 8th International Anti-Homophobia Meeting, a two day conference, was also organised on the topic of regional peace. The conference organisers aimed to point at ‘links between homophobia/transphobia and sexism, nationalism, racism and militarism’, in order to make ‘connections between various kinds of discrimination’. As well as grass roots activists, scholars, unionists, film directors and politicians from Turkey as well as the US, Poland, the Netherlands and France attended the meeting on May 17 – 18. Activists reported that their events were greeted with significant media coverage locally, nationally and even – to a smaller extent – internationally. ]]> http://dayagainsthomophobia.org/es/turkey-idaho-report-2013/feed/ 0 Turkey IDAHO Report 2012 http://dayagainsthomophobia.org/es/turkey-idaho-report-2012/ http://dayagainsthomophobia.org/es/turkey-idaho-report-2012/#comments Sun, 17 Jun 2012 14:34:47 +0000 http://dayagainsthomophobia.org/?p=2390 More than 500 people from Turkey, Russia, Hungary, Norway, Germany, Peru, Spain and the US, as well as Iranian refugees and members of the local LGBT community, took part in a march against homophobia and transphobia to Sakarya Square in Ankara.

Shouting such slogans as “No recognition, No peace!”, “Hatred is killing, Parliament isn’t seeing!”, the protestors requested “constitutional equality”.

The march was the 7th annual International Meeting Against Homophobia, which culminated in an “Anti-homophobia and Anti-transphobia Demonstration”.
