That will be the consequence in other countries rolling back on LGBT issues, looking at you Hungary and Poland, too. First it will be illegal to be “actively gay” in public, then it will be illegal to “look gay” and eventually police will put you in jail based on something something gay so their crowny friends can take your house, car, job etc. But then it will be too late.
How is “Looking gay” defined according to Turkish law? Just being handsome as hell?

Welcome to Türkye…

This is some middle school bullying type shit
