I found this article interesting, so I'm posting a piece of it (and also in the future in case the link gets disactivated, we'll have a part of the article, since it's unethical to post the whole thing):

In order to block homophobia and liberalize lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders (LGBT) by setting a wider area for them within campus borders, around 15 students came together and founded Bilgi Gökkuşağı Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender students club in Istanbul's Bilgi University a couple of weeks ago. They Applied to the university administration officially and were approved. Still giving interviews to mainstream media, the Bilgi Gökkuşağı LGBT Club, Turkey's first official students club on LGBTs, prefers to take a formal identity rather than moving unofficially, aiming to make LGBTs more visible.

Friends found [other] friends. … We asked ourselves: why don't we found a club? Bilgi Gökkuşağı volunteer İzlem Aybastı said. There were people conscious of organized struggle.

Aybastı who is also among the founders of the club was highly satisfied with the attitude of the university administration towards the club. They were proud of the club volunteers when Bilgi Gökkuşağı was on a mainstream daily last week, she said. The university administration is liberal and democratic, according to Aybastı. They provide space for any thought.

I think it's interesting too, but what do others think?

the only thing i'm thinking is why it took that long for an organisation to be set up..
