WorldDozens arrested in major anti-LGBTQ raids in Turkey

Turkish police raided gay bars and the homes of LGBTQ activists on Sunday, arresting at least 60 people. Officials said the operation was intended to promote traditional family values. Turkey’s LGBTQ community is frequently targeted by the government, while President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called it a “deviant movement” of “perverts” responsible for the falling birth rate.
