Good. let me know if there's a way we can support LGBTQ rtights there. Local organizations.
That's ironic! I was literally just putting together information for my post tomorrow on Instagram. Here you go! And thanks!
If you'd like to support the queer community here in Turkey you can learn more at https://kaosgl.org/en/ and you can also join https://outrightinternational.org/, which is working to protect queer people around the world.
We were similarly AMAZED with the history there. Until we visited Egypt. WHOA.
Egypt is definitely on our bucket list!
