The LGBT Community in Turkey

For the last 15 years, the LGBT community has been holding an annual Gay Pride, or Trans Pride Week, which was more of a festival, where the community started off with a parade, and many singers would perform, people would be able to talk to those in the Community to learn and knock down barriers, and make the community feel like they are more accepted. Last year was the first year they were not allowed to have the Pride Week, because the Government (aka, the de facto President, "President" Erdogan,)said that they were "Perverts". This year he made it completely against the law for any group of the LGBT to do any congregating at all, in fact, he came out with a statement that said something to the effect that because they are perverts. 
This is what I find so disturbingly sad. So, over the last three years, Erdogan has become more of a horrific person than anything else. Let me be perfectly clear. Erdogan is a horrible human being, and doesn't even deserve to have the power he has. Let me be more clear. There was an election last year,  in which a member of another Party leader won by a landslide. This party is called the Kurdish Revolution Democratic Party. In Turkish called the DHKP party. Within a couple of days from the election, in which Erdogan lost, he had thrown in to prison the leader. the man is named Dursun Karatas,(pronounced Karatash,).  Well, this is the problem. For the longest time, Turkey has been the secular region of Asia, and predominantly Muslim, but, it was a place for non Muslim and Muslims alike to visit, and was really safe for the region. They also were supposedly helpful for the region, this is not the case now. What is so disturbing about this is that there is a large LBGT community in Turkey. Many actors, singers, song writers, famous people are Trans, and Homosexual, and they were (are) widely popular, yet they have had to leave Turkey about a year ago because of Erdogan. They will face brutal attacks, no protection from the law, because Erdogan wants to made Turkey into the former Ottoman Empire (!!UGH!!) 
There are layers upon layers to this story, and this is just one of the examples of how dangerous this psychopath is. He attacked the poor by sealing up the mine that fell and had over 300 poor men in it, telling their families that there was nothing he could do and that they were already dead, sealing the said mine with concrete, when the men were alive. Then he started telling the women they had to wear scarves when it was against the law to wear them in Public buildings. Then he systematically started dismantling the Kemal Ataturk's former laws that Mustafa Kemal put into place, then he started attacking groups of people like the LGBT community. They are very vulnerable in Africa, China, India, Central Asia, and now Turkey. There are other groups of people that are also vulnerable. The problem with Governmental Leaders is when they have an angst towards any group of people, the followers of that leader see it as a ticket to attack those groups of people. We see it here in The USA, we see it in all communities and countries all over the world. Turkey is becoming an oppressive society, which is a nightmare.The only solution is to get the crazy psychopathic thug out of power...
