Don't you all think you have got a bit off topic?

I just wonder what makes people think that way? When you're gay, people talk about you like: "Oh he's gay".. But they don't talk about me, like: "Oh she's straight".
I just don't get the big deal. Because.. i think everyone here on this forum agrees that LOVE is one of the bestest things right? One of the good, pure things we should cherish. If a man falls in love with a man, or a woman with a woman.. then they have exactly what we all should cherish: LOVE!
Love between any human being is the best that can exist. Love between mother and child, love between good friends, love between me and my gay-friend, love between two lovers.
Each love, when it is shared between 2 people (i believe you can only fully give your hear to ONE lover, but share your heart with MANY friends and family. But each love should come from two sides, that is what i mean with 'between 2 people') should be cherished. Age or gender should not be of any matter because LOVE goes to hearts and souls too. And I wonder if there is thát much difference between a male or female heart and soul! In the end, we're all human.

Quoting AlphaF: Homosexuality was frowned upon when I was young, nowadays it seems to be free: I will not be surprised at all, if it becomes obligatory in near future.  |

Turkey not an easy place for all sort extrems,and biggest part of Turkish people don't have enough tolerance for them depend social,cultural and religional reasons,but things changing on this topic to as on everything with the effects of industrialization,so why extrems of past getting usual day by day..Social and family pressure getting less as the reflection of city life a bit more each new day in our country to,and social&moral values taking its place to individual freedoms a bit more each new day,but still biggest part Turkish people have deep red lines on their life...

Quoting erdinc: Not very good certainly if it is about the Turkish people themselves but there is more flexibility for the tourists.
As far as I see here in some parts of Britain it is not so welcome either. Probably the same could apply to medittarranean countries.

Interesting, is that so...So there is more flexibility for the tourists but not for Turks.... Why is that I wonder?

I completely agree.....INTOLERANCE is a disease that Turkey is afflicted with. I am just glad it doesn't effect everyone!

Probably - like someone else said - because although they are homosexual they are first and foremost tourists who are spending money.

I think it is like that for Turks too...maybe they are gay....but they are first and foremost, Turks and therefore not gay.
