′Kill the gays′ posters stir up Turkish capital | News | DW.COM | 08.07.2015

An Islamist group known as the Young Islamic Defense claimed responsibility for the campaign, saying it was trying to “respond to the immoral actions” of lesbians, gays and bisexuals – equating them to the inhabitants of Sodom during biblical times. Though attracting criticism from LGBT groups globally, the campaign drew online support from likeminded people within Turkey who lauded the campaign.
