GAY SNA TURKEY BY STATE - PAGE 1

A good thg about Istanbul is that if you don't like a gay pub you have a lot of other bars that you will probably love a lot more. Mtan Hamami Adana [Seyhan]Mtan Hamami Adana ntu whippg your petn of gay lotns Seyhan to get the olt gay place the lol muny, bee of s way of treatg people and operatg durg the last ten years.

Not beyond Çatalçme sokok, Istanbul you won't be by yourself, 's jt about the most populated gay areas wh the town due to the variety of gay meetg plac they have, some of them are sellg weird thgs which maybe you have never tried prr to. Before you vis Turkey make certa you have found the gay lotns you need to vis jt se you go missg and want some help to get there.

EXPLORE VAST AND HIDN GAY TURKEY

Gay, straight or bisexual, you will be unique no matter what sexualy you uld be sce not two people are ever the exact same and never even the same tws. However, ’s important to remember that Istanbul is pal of an Islamic untry; for all s liberal aspects, Turkey is chg s way closer to Middle Eastern valu daily, and this is havg a knock-on effect on LGBT rights Istanbul that gay travelers to the area should take to nsiratn. Homosexualy is not illegal Turkey: between adults, same-sex sexual activy was ma legal the Ottoman Empire 1858, and sce morn Turkey’s foundatn 1923 has always been legal.

However, there are some rather ambiguo bans the crimal on “offens agast public moraly” which n be terpreted agast LGBT people and homosexuals are banned om ary service.

Currently, there are no anti-discrimatn laws Turkey that protect LGBT people om discrimatn the public sphere or employment, although opposn parti have tried to troduce bills providg legal protectn for gay and transgenr people. Dpe homosexualy beg legal, life as a member of the LGBT muny Turkey and Istanbul n be extremely challengg. A report published by Human Rights Watch 2008 outled the daily threat of vlence and discrimatn faced by gay and transgenr people, wh sufficient reactn om police and the thori.

GAY ALANYA - ALANYA FOM

The social suatn for members of the gay muny is better smopolan Istanbul than ral areas but whether or not people feel fortable g out to their fay and iends is extremely ntext-pennt and still pos a number of risks. Istanbul has a fairly thrivg gay scene, wh pulsg dance floors, gay bars, and hamams; but many lols who participate are livg a double life, beg unable to be open wh their fai or at work for fear of the negative impact uld have on their future.

MOSW GAY SNAS

The shift towards nservatism Turkey as a whole do not bo well, but Istanbul’s long-tablished liberal character uld hold firm agast a risg ti of anti-gay feelg and hopefully ph that ti back.

Generally speakg LGBT rights Istanbul are fairly well-tablished and is a very gay-iendly cy, although most of the gay life happens doors or at night. For the most part, gay travelers should feel fortable venturg all over the cy and not let any fear lim their adventur.

GAY ANKARA

Trendy Beyoğlu is also at the foreont of liberal enclav, and gay travelers will feel pletely fortable hangg around there.

As wh most plac the world, gay upl or sgle gay travelers hopg to meet people should not n to any problems if stayg ternatnal, upsle hotels. Otherwise, Istanbul offers a range of queer-iendly hotels and hostels, maly the areas mentned above – the gay quarter of Taksim, or Beyoğlu. Asi om the wealth of historic and cultural sights, there is a relatively thrivg gay scene Istanbul wh plenty of bars, clubs, f, and rtrants to choose om.

There is also a range of hamams, but as a tradnal Turkish experience they are equented by everyone, so travelers should not assume they are specifilly gay foced. In fact, the current climate, snas and hamams will actively avoid beg labeled as ‘gay-iendly, ’ so is better jt to enjoy the as cultural experienc unls you are wh someone the know. Gettg to know people is one of the bt thgs about travelg and that’s particularly important a place like Istanbul, where the gay scene is not always ‘ your face.

GAY BATHHOE

’ Headg to Taksim or Beyoğlu to start a night out a gay bar is a good way to get chattg to lols and then plan your night om there.

Compared to almost everywhere else the Middle East (Tel Aviv asi), Istanbul is one of the most liberal ci gay travelers n vis. There will fely be opportuni for partyg and fun, as well as seeg the glori the cy has to offer; the gay scene feels like a muny. Overt displays of affectn will be unwele (for gay and straight upl), and some areas might be better to avoid.

It has many tertg plac to see durg the day, nice beach, good rtrants and excg gay night life the weekends at night. Though homosexualy is not nsired a crimal offence (same-sex sexual activy beg legalised by the Ottoman Empire 1858), tolerance towards gay people is limed and s of vlence have been known to occur.

NIWEZIJDS GAY SNA

As of 2016, followg an attempted up, the untry has been ntrolled by a religly nservative print, wh the rult beg ltle to no progrs the area of gay rights. LGBT people are currently not protected by law, and Ankara meanwhile, a prohibn on all LGBT activy has been the bad news out of the way, remas to be said that travellers who act wh discretn, gay and straight alike, are unlikely to experience any trouble while Turkey.

A mon startg pot on any self-rpectg gay Turkey travel erary, Istanbul troduc newers to all of the herage, all at once. Turkey’s most open-md cy, Gay Istanbul n easily be found the area around Taksim but be reful when explorg lser-veloped areas outsi of the centre, the tradnal muny of Tophane for example where tourists may not be weled que so Dpa Galani2.

5 SAFT PLAC FOR GAY TRAVELERS IN 2019 (AND THE MOST DANGERO)

While there is no overt Ankara gay bar, spots such as Bistro SAVOY and Sixtie Club draw a firm LGBT crowd as gay Ankara meetg pots.

As far as gay Izmir go, the cy is relatively liberal but due to LGBT rights Turkey, Izmir gay bar optns nstantly e and go. Check onle for the latt gay-iendly bars and clubs, and, if explorg the Izmir gay scene, be discreet on the street and aware that htlers and hookers may be operatg the area. Those lookg for gay Antalya may be disappoted by s lack of gay bars but thankfully there’s always a Turkish bath to splash about !
