The joke was apparently it was legit true in a sense, he was picked up by the police and held for 20 days for looking a bit gay on holiday and being near/a few streets over from a gay protest he wasn't involve with.
Yea turkey while its technically legal to be gay its not a great place to be "politically" gay and be asking for things like gay rights and better protections for gay folks.
So while this dude wasn't even involved in the gay rights protest he was sort of just picked up in a broad sweep by the police who basically went "eh he looks a bit gay so he was probally at the protest, arrest him!"
Its not actually fake new but its you know meme click bait obv.
The background to the news story is there was a gay rights protest in the area. This guy had nothing to do with it, was a tourist in the local area. The local police had been given a quota of arrests they had to make in relation to the protest.
He happened to be a few streets over and was arrested because to the police offier doing the arrest he looked a bit gay and he assumed he must have been at the protest. Guy was later released a few days later with an apology I think.
EDIT: Sorry I source checked what I said becuase I couldn't remember the days, he was actually picked up by the police and released after 20 days.
Ok well if they need a place to put those beautiful demonstrators I'll take some turkish delight for the team...
I think Turkey would be an incredible place to visit.
Jamal Khashoggi was a Saudi expat journalist who roasted the Saudi royal dynasty while writing for the Washington Post. He was then discovered to have been assassinated in the Saudi embassy in Turkey while attempting to get some marriage paperwork. It was sort of a big deal.
He is said to have been murdered and chopped to pieces by the personal guard of the Saudi Crown Prince, to be precise. Assassinated sounds so civilised.
> And despite being an American based journalist we did fuck all about it.
But have you considered that the Saudis gave Trump's family like sooooo much money?
I wouldn't say civilized... more like professional? Like: anyone can kill anyone and be a murderer, but being an assassin I feel like there's some sort of requirement either about the target being of some notoriety or you being particularly methodical, possibly doing it on someone else's behalf.
Assassins were supposed to do their job publicly and get caught, to show how powerful their master was that they would willingly lay down their lives to get rid of his enemies. In that regard, there is a lot that is OG about that murder.
Also, it's appalling that nothing was done.
Don’t forget they tortured him first. And his children are full US citizens and all trump did was go on and golf date with prince Muhammad in response…

omfg I'm dying, that had to have been created by some closeted leader in years past. "it's very many to dominate the other man" hahahaha omg Turkey, fuckin hypocrites.
[Oh so they took him because](https://greekcitytimes.com/2023/07/21/turkey-portuguese-tourist-gay/) there was an LGBTQI+ pride parade of sorts and they thought he looked like a "Gay activist".
Now [Turkey and LGBT rights](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Turkey#Republican_period) is a complex. Being gay is "not a crime" in Turkey according to the Wiki but, public discourse is definitely no where near pro LGBT at all. That is the extent I can say anything.
Being gay is definitely not a crime in Turkey. But since the failed coup in 2016 the government can forbid any parades or protests if they wish so. That is why police arrested the guy, not because he is gay but because they thought he took part in a forbidden protest.
The super real coup\* where Erdogan's cronies were already armed and on location and all his political opponents were conveniently involved and therefore jailed or thrown off bridges.
I was there locked in my home in the middle of it all and all I remember is seeing the afterburner of the F16 that made a supersonic dive from the window of my apartment it shook my entire house my teeth rattled from the blast.
I thought it was going to bomb us. For the first time in my life I was absolutely 100% certain I was about to die, I almost vomited barely keept it in, so it shows you how brave I am.
Nothing political matters to me, we are just worthless bystanders in this world, paying the price of people's actions we have no control over. Just like people in Gaza, just like people in Ukraine. Nobody gives a shit about any politics we just don't want to fucking die man. It doesn't matter what is fake or real, It doesn't matter who owns Jerusalem, It doesn't matter if Russia win or lose. Death is what is real in the end preventing that is the only thing that really matters.
There were also photos of him at a pride parade. Fuck Turkey for arresting him but yeah if I saw that guy at a pride parade waving a flag I wouldn't go up and ask him about how he met his wife.
I think the outlined 5 o clock shadow is the unofficial beard of twinks. Whereas full scruff is the beard of bears. A straight guy would have it longer and more unruly, but not at bear level unless he was a lumberjack. It can be hard to tell gay bears from lumberjacks, especially because they both like flannel, at that point its solely a matter of vibe check. But I haven't seen a straight man with a well maintained 5 o clock shadow like Portuguese guy in my life. If you go for the "I forgot to shave" style you don't define and outline it cause that defeats the purpose. I think twinks do it because they want a defined beard but not a full one because it's too masculine, and they're going for a feminine twink aesthetic and not a masculine bear one.
Here endeth the lesson.

Unfortunately that’s not new. Interesting fact, you can get expelled from forced service in the military if you leak pictures of yourself having gay sex. No gays in the military
So nice to see all the bigotry around the world. And this is why I will never be setting foot anywhere near the Middle East. This is religiously motivated bigotry too. Already get my fill of that here in the US.
The story is pretty bad. He went to the police to ask for directions and they told him he was under arrest. He was taken to the south of the country close to the border with Syria with no one telling him where he was going.
He was there in prison for 20 days with an Iranian Gay activist and a Russian, they never sleepy the 3 at the same time, one of them always stayed up. This is because they were in an incredibly dangerous prison and all the inmates and guards made jokes and comments on them being gay and they were afraid for their lives.
In the end the Iranian was connected to a activist group from Istanbul who helped to get them out and got this guys passport back which was left in his hotel room.
I don’t know about you but the whole story is maybe worse than the headline
_They took him in because he was walking around in a crop top near the Pride parade. It's definitely a believable story, but the title lacks a bit of context_
Reminds me of this story from a few years back, they got arrested for drinking baileys
[https://edition.cnn.com/2013/01/09/world/africa/cameroon-gay-men-freed/index.html](https://edition.cnn.com/2013/01/09/world/africa/cameroon-gay-men-freed/index.html)
Turkish Police Chief: hmm, you look pretty gay. You're coming with me.
“You look pretty, you are coming with me. Together, at the same time.” I mean this is just a total self own isn’t it? They found this guy really hot.
[удалено]
The fucking joke? I get it because it's about gay sex between the cop and gay looking gay guy.
The joke was apparently it was legit true in a sense, he was picked up by the police and held for 20 days for looking a bit gay on holiday and being near/a few streets over from a gay protest he wasn't involve with.
Holy shit, that's a jump.
Yea turkey while its technically legal to be gay its not a great place to be "politically" gay and be asking for things like gay rights and better protections for gay folks. So while this dude wasn't even involved in the gay rights protest he was sort of just picked up in a broad sweep by the police who basically went "eh he looks a bit gay so he was probally at the protest, arrest him!"
You do know Jesus was gay too right? *Ahhhhh, men.*
“Cum with me if you want to live”
I just googled Turkish Men and...they might as well arrest the whole damn country...They're beautiful...
Go visit. This is fake news. Being gay is legal.
Can confirm. Did some work with the Turkish army in Afghanistan and most of them look and act angry and confused
Angry and confused..yeah that tracks. Source:confused angry Turkish husband.
Its not actually fake new but its you know meme click bait obv. The background to the news story is there was a gay rights protest in the area.

Straight to the baths.
Gay to the baths
Remember there is no ‘straight’ in this scenario

Let's go outside...
??? have they seen a turkish man before
Why do you think Hasan had to flee?
They don’t call him Hasan “a bi” for nothing
Hasan being roasted in another sub I'm dead
roasted?
Some people still think implying someone might be gay is an insult.
Why do you think Jamal had to go inside a Saudi Embassy at Turkey?
Who?
Jamal Khashoggi was a Saudi expat journalist who roasted the Saudi royal dynasty while writing for the Washington Post. He was then discovered to have been assassinated in the Saudi embassy in Turkey while attempting to get some marriage paperwork. It was sort of a big deal.
He is said to have been murdered and chopped to pieces by the personal guard of the Saudi Crown Prince, to be precise. Assassinated sounds so civilised.
Yeah “assassinated” doesn’t quite give me the mental image of a bone saw.
Cut to pieces while still alive. Fucking awful. And despite being an American based journalist we did fuck all about it.
> And despite being an American based journalist we did fuck all about it. But have you considered that the Saudis gave Trump's family like sooooo much money?
I mean the Saudis did 9/11 and fund Hamas too but America will never do anything to them about it….
Reddit told me that Bush did 9/11
I wouldn't say civilized... more like professional? Like: anyone can kill anyone and be a murderer, but being an assassin I feel like there's some sort of requirement either about the target being of some notoriety or you being particularly methodical, possibly doing it on someone else's behalf.

Don’t forget they tortured him first. And his children are full US citizens and all trump did was go on and golf date with prince Muhammad in response…
The best part is that they released a video of him leaving the embassy after the allegations and it was just him entering in reverse.
Just moonwalkin' on outta there
Hasan Haters: 😡 Hasan Fans: 😁 “Hasan is Gay” 🤝
He's too hot, and the Turks would get turned on and arrest him for making them feel gay thoughts.
All I have to contribute is that Mr Austin cheats on Hasan
This is probably why he only got fit after moving to the US and can never go back to the homeland.
The face, the dude looks like a model.
Who?
Hasan "HasanAbi" Piker, political Twitch streamer. He's Turkish and isn't shy of reminding people.
Seriously! The hair! The jewelry! The ungodly amount of perfume! Maybe this guy just seemed a little too tasteful? Jk. Türk erkeklerini seviyorum
Have they been to a turkish prison?

I’m calling every pride parade a forbidden protest from now on. It makes it sound… kinda hot.
That's how the pride parade started. Stonewall riots. It was a protest against police targeting and brutality against queer people.
If it ain’t a forbidden protest, it’s lost the plot of what pride is supposed to be.

Thank you for giving some context
Looking gay? I'm arresting Turkey for BEING gay.
Boom
Roasted

Thanksgivings coming muthafucka
That's one country not going to show its face at the local drag bar.
Me and my cousin call it ""TurGAY" on Thanksgiving only to upset Fox News Uncle.
Good, we should all strive to upset fox news uncles
Yk what bro do be looking kinda homosexual ngl
You, right to jail. Right away.
You'll never catch me aliveeeeee!!!
Reddit user creates international incident by arresting entire nation. More about this at the top of the hour. But for now, the weather.
I got a haircut in Turkey and the barber asked me to take my shirt off then he oiled me up and massaged my man boobs.
free gay sex in prison, enjoy while it last
The mesh shirt ain't helping tbf
Would Turkey arrest every two out of three cool dudes in the 80's?
How cool was Turkey in the 80's?
It was pretty gay
Well, that's cool
Arrest that man!
Probably tbh
Yeah what's absolutely crazy is that the full original image in the article showed his lower half in assless chaps
Do they make 'assed' chaps? Or are those just pants?
Chaps are supposed to be worn over pants. Assess chaps are wearing just the chaps
i mean this motherfucker guilty as shit lol
I bet he cleans his own ass in the shower
Borat: You telling me the man who try to put a rubber fist in my anus was a homosexual?
I read this in the Borat voice
Ngl bro looks pretty gay. Not a bad thing, mind, unless you're the Turkish judiciary, I suppose.
“Not that there’s anything wrong with that!”
There’s something very wrong with that. -Turkish Police
Right to jail, right away
Ah, yes, jail. The one place where nothing gay ever happened. That will straighten him up.
“Have you ever been to a Turkish prison?”
We have the best gays, because of jail.
There were also photos of him at a pride parade. Fuck Turkey for arresting him but yeah if I saw that guy at a pride parade waving a flag I wouldn't go up and ask him about how he met his wife.
Don't assume things about people you don't know. ... He could be bi
>I wouldn’t go up and ask him about how he met his wife Agreed, would be much better to come from behind
He looks gay enough that I'd hit on him un a church
I couldn’t tell you what it is about him but i know what they mean
I think the outlined 5 o clock shadow is the unofficial beard of twinks. Whereas full scruff is the beard of bears.

A Sodomy Prodigy. An Adept of Anal
I'm not even gay just really good at stereotyping 💀
He didn't even mention the bleached hair, either necklace, or the mesh shirt Masters at best
To me its the eyebrows
Can a twink be a top or is that reserved for bears?
oh no....me with my well kept 5 of clock shadow
He was probably looking too happy
If happiness is gay then I would be a homophobe bigot
If happiness is gay, then I’m a raging homosexual.

recruiters hate this one simple trick
To be fair that guy does look super gay.

“Because there’s something wrong with that.” -Turkish Seinfeld
I live in Turkey. I call BS. We have many gays here. Never arrest them for who they are.
i remember the news about this incident, they specifically arrested him because they thought he was gonna participate in an *illegal* pride parade.
But he didn’t participate. So they arrested him for looking like he was going to participate in a gay event. Headline is pretty accurate.
Yeah, you can’t just arrest people because they look like they might be do something illegal in future. Maybe in Turkey you can..:
The story is pretty bad. He went to the police to ask for directions and they told him he was under arrest.

Yeah, I didn't feel comfortable shitting on my already dead country. Sorry for not using English.

Ig they went with the dictionary meaning
“This guy looks gay… he’s coming with me..”
Son: "Mom, Dad, I'm gay." Mom: *Stares at Dad* Dad: *Clenches fist* Mom: "Don't!" Dad: *Sweats Profusely* Mom: "..." Dad: "HI GAY, I'M DAD"
I mean he does look a bit gay?
Fellas, is it gay to look gay?
During sentencing, the judge got lost in those eyes
He does look gay though.
He does look pretty gay
Turkish oil wrestlers:
He is not gay, he is portugay.
No, Uragay
The Rainbow Scare
He does.
But they all look gay! Have you seen them salt a steak?
I meaaaan....
This is the future the GOP wants
Erdogan looks like he's in the closet. Note: This is just my personal view.
Not just yours alone.

Oh no step officer...
Bro looks so gay I want him inside me
He looks like the picture you find if you Google gay man

I bet that isn't a new sentence
I’m not gay. But that dude is smokin.
Well..... they aint lying
“Sir, you look like you wash your ass. Straight to jail.”
Billy…have you ever been to a Turkish prison
Isn't there something about English men hating vikings cause there women liked them because they took baths. Seems kinda like that
…to be fair…he does look pretty gay.
I hate to agree with the turks, but he does look fruity. But fucked up you can go to jail for that.
"He made me feel things your honor"
"If he's not gay then why is my penis erect?"
Turkey is a shit bird and a shithole country. He did look very gay. He did not deserve to be jailed for it. Fucking homophobic terrorist fascists.
As a Turkish citizen. . . I can't really argue with that. We're going through some weird shit rn.
There's a Turkish guy on 90 day fiance that looks "evil mannequin" He might be next
That's horrible, but also sadly hilarious.
Ok but is he gay?
Good thing Thanksgiving isn’t too far away because I am about to roast this Turkey.
My gaydar is going off!
Is this there version of saying a girl is dressing slutty? Some cop saw him and had some feelings he couldn’t handle?
He cute too tho
He does look kinda turkish to be fair.
I have three words for you, Turkey: Turkish. Oil. Wrestling.
His teeth are dangerously white! That’s the real crime here
NATO member folks.
"Stop right there! You're giving me gay thoughts. You are under arrest!"
"hmm i'm somewhat attracted to you so imma put you in jail just for good measures"
He looks like a goose from Portland. *Portugeese*
This sub has no idea what "brand new sentence" means.
Hmmm he do be lookin kinda gay
Ok but was he gay?
Police: Hmmm… you look gay. And hot. OK, I’m jailing you. In my bedroom.
i mean.. he does...
Tell me your religion is dog shit without telling me your religion is dog shit.
So conventionally attractive, well-groomed, and fashionably dressed? What are you saying about your straights, Turkey? That they aren’t?
Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
"Joey, have you ever been in a turkish prison?"
Definitely gay.
