BEG GAY AND LIVG NORTHERN CYPS

The news that this piece of homophobic legislatn had been fally overturned was weled by LGBT mpaigners all over the world.

Ined I knew many men who, on the face of , were brimmg wh ttosterone terms of [tryg to] attract partners of the oppose sex and yet once some alhol had been nsumed they would disappear wh the known and ‘out’ gay the village for some sual sex.

However, there was another realy for many gay men and women North Cyps. Forced or ‘aggrsively arranged’ marriag beme the norm for Turkish Cyprt homosexuals who pulated to fay prsure and married a heterosexual due to wir social tolerance.

Part of my rearch has also unvered a very healthy ‘cisg’ culture enjoyed by Cyprt gays.

In Dereboyu Park, Lefkosa, there will regularly be gay men lookg to meet a another man and if you enter the Greek Cyprt south of the island via the Ledra Crossg, the municipaly park Nisia is, I am advised, even more well known for ‘cisg’. If our gays and lbians n e together and show rpect and digny, there is hope yet for the heterosexuals.
