From everyone at Stonewall: we see you, we stand with you, and we're not going anywhere. Solidarity knows no borders. – Simon Blake, Stonewall

Hi my fellow queers in Turkey! Please know that you're not alone and we'll continue to speak up against the terrors you're being put through. Sending lots of love! 😘😘💖💖

You Are Not Forgotten! ♥️🕊️

2026-09-30 12:51:50 UTC

Your courage, your voices and your resistance matter ♥️ 💪 We shouldn’t be deprived of our freedom for defending fundamental rights, living openly or demanding a more equal society.

My heart and solidarity are with you, your families, your friends and everyone continuing this struggle outside prison walls. I hope the day comes soon when you can stand among them again; free, safe and proud. Until then, know that people are thinking of you, speaking your names and standing beside you from afar ♥️ 🇹🇷 🏳️‍🌈

Thinking of all my LGBTQ siblings in Turkey, a place I was proud to call home for 3 years in the early 2000s, a time when Turkey seemed to be transitioning into a pluralistic democracy. How quickly things have changed but how quickly they will improve. Keep the faith ❤️

L O V E will win. Stay strong and know the eyes of the world are watching.

donmiki63 — 2026-09-30 19:54:38 UTC

To the LGBTQI+ community in Türkiye: as a gay man, I stand with you, with love and solidarity.

No one should face persecution, detention, or fear because of who they are or whom they love. You deserve safety, dignity, freedom, and the right to live openly.

Please know that you are not alone. Even across borders, we keep you in our thoughts and in our hearts. Your lives matter, your voices matter, and your freedom matters.

Sending you love and strength. We stand with you. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

LGBT+ Rights should not be up for debate

2026-09-30 20:14:36 UTC

Erdogan & Gurlek both need to be held accountable for their actions and they need to be arrested for these drastic increases in human rights abuses. Love should not be considered a crime. No religion & culture are not valid excuses for the violation of LGBT+ rights. Culture changes & is determined by those in it & religion is what one ultimately makes of it. They claim to protect "family values" yet they attack queer families & families with queer people in them. Their buzzwords & rhetoric are sadly not unique to Türkiye, this type of rhetoric and language can be seen around the world, being used to attack LGBT+ people even though this rhetoric is dishonest. The LGBT+ people of Türkiye deserve better. Release the prisoners now!

2026-09-30 20:19:38 UTC

Love is always stronger than hate. Hate is a weakness, a lack of empathy and failing to understand. We are thinking of the LGBT community in Turkey and will stand shoulder to shoulder with you. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇹🇷🫂

Sending you steadfast solidarity in the face of an often unjust world. Our stories are simultaneously quite different and yet identical. I’m grateful every day to be a member of the queer community and send my love to our queer family from around the world.

Stay confident and proud of who you are, and celebrate this. I am saddened to hear what your government is putting you through. But remember your government is not your country, and it is also not your people. Love your self so strong right now, and know you are on the right path. We will not solve this with hate, we will only solve this with love.

You will never stand alone ❤️

2026-10-01 05:27:34 UTC

To our LGBTQ+ family in Türkiye: you deserve to live openly, love freely and feel safe being exactly who you are. As a gay man with a husband I love dearly, this feels deeply personal. Everyone deserves that same freedom and happiness.

Please, fight!

2026-10-01 06:05:00 UTC

I fled from Russia, because of homophobic politics, we have lost our country, and now it isn't for life. We fight back, but it's really hard. And russians have no help in their fight. So, don't loose your country, don't loose legacy of Atatyurk. Unite and fight! Unite with everyone you can, to win.

We are with you!

Kaleidoscope Trust stands in solidarity with LGBTI+ people, activists and organisations in Türkiye, and thank those using their platforms to demand action and accountability ❤️

LGBTI+ advocacy is human rights work. Civil society organisations must be able to organise, speak and support their communities without being treated as a threat simply because of who they represent or the rights they defend.

We are urging the Turkish authorities to uphold fundamental freedoms, ensure due process for everyone affected, and end measures that criminalise or obstruct legitimate human rights work.

The international community must not look away 🌍

The light always finds its way 😘🌈
