Outrage in Turkey as singer Reyhan Karaca flies the LGBT flag at a festival in Istanbul

In the concert held on August 13, he suddenly asked the audience, ‘Where is the LGBT flag?’ Karaca asked, after one of the audience raised the LGBT flag, ‘I swear, there is. Give. Hand in hand, hand in hand!’ He took the flag and waved it.

People of Turkey have taken to their social media platforms to protest over the flying of LGBTQ flag from Reyhan Karaca and Gulsen at concerts. 

Celik wrote: “Gülşen’den sonra Reyhan Karaca da LGBT bayrağı açmış. Yenikapı’da konser veren şarkıcılara LGBT şartı konulmuş sanki. Karaca, “Var mı LGBT bayrağı” diye sormuş, ön taraftan uzatılınca da “Var vallahi var” diye sevinmiş. Bu sanatçılar bu yıl mı LGBT’li oldular, daha önce neydiler?”

John: Gülşen ve Reyhan Karaca başta olmak üzere LGBT bayrağı açanların konserleri tamamen yasaklansın.
