As far as I know, homosexuality isn't even illegal in Turkiye. Seems like police just making up rules as usual.

    Yeah, I think he was quite unlucky, he was not even aware of the attempt to a pride parade and made the fatal mistake of asking for directions to the area where the pride would happen and there you go, 9 days unable to make a phone call in overcrowded prisons and more 11 days in prison after the first phone call. Welcome to Türkye...
