Turkey's Erdoğan launches crackdown on LGBTQ groups, cultural expression

Turkish authorities have raided gay organizations and are targeting song lyrics and women's rights as part of Erdoğan's campaign to enforce a traditional family image by 2035. This marks an escalation in state repression against LGBTQ communities and cultural expression, signaling a shift toward more authoritarian social policies. The move could strain relations with Western allies and impact domestic political dynamics.
