Here is more on the breakdown of the Leftist/Islamic alliance. The “Pride” business has gone way beyond appeals for “tolerance” to efforts to corrupt and mutilate children, but brutality is not the answer.
“Police blockade entire Beyoğlu district, detain Trans Pride March participants with excessive force,” Duvar English, June 18, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Turkish police on June 18 blockaded Istanbul’s entire Beyoğlu district due to the Trans Pride March organized by LGBTI+ activists. The governor’s office closed the subway stations leading to Beyoğlu and police set up barricades on all roads leading to Istanbul’s famous Taksim Square and İstiklal Avenue since early morning.
Trans activists decided to move the march to the nearby Şişli district when it became impossible to enter Beyoğlu. Some of the activists were able to gather in the area and issue a press release.
The statement drew attention to the struggle of trans people who have been evicted from their homes and subjected to state violence on a daily basis and mentioned the escalating attacks since the last trans pride week in 2017.
The trans activists emphasized the detrimental impact of the Feb. 6 Earthquakes on the community and added, “In this country where trans people die at the gates of shelters that reject their demand of refuge, trans deaths are of course political.” As trans activists continue to face state violence, they have expressed their solidarity with the Kurdish community, which remains oppressed under the current government’s policies.
Nonetheless, the police and some shopkeepers from the district physically attacked the trans activists in the backstreets after the statement even though the district governor did not issue any public ban decision. The police detained at least eight people including one child using brute force. While some activists were dragged to the ground, some of them were forced to enter civilian vehicles by the police. It is illegal to carry detainees in an unofficial vehicle.
On the other hand, the police tried to prevent journalists from covering the detentions.
Green Left Party (YSP) Istanbul MP Özgül Saki and İzmir MP Burcugül Çubuk also attended the march. Saki said, “This struggle is not only the struggle of LGBTI+ people but of each and every one of us. We will all raise the struggle for equality and freedom.”…

“We will all raise the struggle for equality and freedom.”
Equality and freedom under Islam?
Forget it.

Until Islam can be reformed there will be NO pride marches. These people are lucky they were not killed.

He, and they, are not “struggling” for everyone. They are struggling for the alphabet people; and just as in other places, such as the U.S., with power, they would run roughshod over everyone who disagrees with them.
The alphabet people in the U.S. have an entire month to “celebrate” and expose themselves. They are setting up days, weeks and months for special recognition of “trans” and others. Watch out for October.
islam is just as strong for its wicked system as the alphabet people, and mozlums are not adverse to using force, even to death, to have things their way.
What care does the government of turkeye…however it’s spelled now…take when arresting those who step even an inch out of line? None. So, they even take little children by force.
And “little children” should not be in the ‘pride’ movement. That’s a “choice” only adults should be making as they must know what others think of their perversions. A child cannot know those things and be informed about what he is doing. And furthermore, he should not be handled by brute force for being there.
A non-biased reporter might have had more to tell about the measure of “brute force” used by the police and shopkeepers and why it was used….as in, were the “trans” people breaking other laws, etc.

Indeed! But not for the purposes of enabling LGBTQIA+ people to perform mastectomies & ovaryplasties on kids making them transgender
