Thousands of people took part in the 23rd Belgian Gay Pride event on 19 May. Among them, Turkish LGBT who are escaping the Turkish government. A 50-year-old Turkish man, living in Brussels for 5 years, said it was very difficult living in his own country. He said, "In Turkey, I was under strain from my family, friends and political pressure. I had some problems in the street and the police did not help me." A month ago, Amnesty international published a report concerning the degradation of human rights in general in Turkey. Many Turkish people lost their jobs or ended up in prison.
