> Turkish police arrested dozens of people Sunday during a series of raids on gay bars and the homes of LGBTQ activists. Authorities said the operations were carried out in the context of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s proclaimed “Decade of the Family,” which they say aims to “protect our children, the institution of the family and social order.”
