Culture wars: Turkey鈥檚 anti-LGBT drive

What鈥檚 behind the evolution of President Erdogan鈥檚 narrative on LGBT issues, and how did Turkey鈥檚 Islamic conservatives find common ground with American Evangelicals?

What鈥檚 behind the evolution of President Erdogan鈥檚 narrative on LGBT issues, and how did Turkey鈥檚 Islamic conservatives find common ground with American Evangelicals? President Erdogan skipped the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris in August after his granddaughter warned him about the 鈥淟GBT show鈥�. He berated the French organisers for 鈥渄ebasing humanity to a level below animals鈥�. His anti-LGBT push is relatively recent. We take a look at one battlefield of the global culture war.
