Turkey’s President Erdoğan branded his opposition “pro-LGBT” at a campaign rally, saying he will “bury” them in a “ballot box”.
Erdoğan held an election rally on May 7 in Istanbul and he vowed his Justice and Development Party (AKP) and other parties in their alliance will never be “pro-LGBT because family is sacred to us”.
He is facing off against Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, leader of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) which is leading in several polls. It represents the greatest challenge Erdoğan has faced in his leadership since he became president in 2014.
It comes as little surprise then that, with Turkey due to cast ballots in the presidential and parliamentary elections on 14 May, Erdoğan has ramped up the same anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric he’s been known for throughout his presidency.
Leading up to the presidential election, Turkey’s Erdogan doubles down on anti-LGBTQ+.
