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. I always found odd that the Turkish Cyprts had this law place as, whether you are the htle and btle of the more populated ci or the ‘sleepy’ villag, I always found a reasonable gree of openns and tolerance to people who were known to be gay or bi-sexual. 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. Derya Dog, a new, outspoken MP and long-standg mpaigner of LGBT rights North Cyps, was quoted at the time as sayg: “We crimalized homosexualy but we also changed that whole sectn (of the ) to mornize laws protectg human rights.

The Internatnal Gay & Lbian Travel Associatn (IGLTA) has recently reported that specialist holidays have creased by over 100% and I really thk that North Cyps n bee a qualy holiday spot for the LGBT muny; whether or not North Cyps ttons on to the ia and rpects the Pk Pound only time will tell.

NORTHERN CYPS VOT TO LEGALISE GAY SEX

As someone who is om North Cyps, I would love to see the public wele the currently small gay scene there, helpg to grow.

The Cream Bar Kyrenia is the premier (and only) openly gay venue North Cyps and has been a favoure hnt of gays sce 2005.

The gay muny n e here and have a fabulo time our bpoke three level bar/club.

GAY DATG CYPS

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

NORTHERN CYPS LIFTS BAN ON GAY SEX

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. Lol rob not that im actually tryg to orect you the islam fah is agast same sex relatnships even thou north cyprts are mlim the vast majory are not strict followers peacially the younger generatn gud girl you have no worri i know a few gays who live the villag and they dont get no greif, a word of advice thou and im not tryg to sound like a p as long as you are nservive your manner you wil have no problems like beg owned upon by the olrs at the end of the day your sexualy eher a butch or lipstick do not terme if you are a bad person or not good luck on your spectn trip and now is a good time to buy s fo a buyers market turk ROBnJOJoed: 30/06/2008Posts: 1289Msage Posted:11/09/2008 17:15Jo or Log to ReplyMsage 9 of 109 Discsnturk I thk we're sgg om the same Hymn sheet!
