LGBTI+'s are targeted with amendments to the Civil Code and Penal Code

According to the draft law proposal reached by KaosGL.org; the expression ‘biological sex’ will be added to the Criminal Code. LGBTI+ expressions in the public sphere will be penalised, and legal procedures regarding the gender affirmation process will become more difficult.

In recent months, the government has designated 2025 as the ‘Family Year’. Many politicians, including President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Minister of Family and Social Services Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş, targeted LGBTI+s with the expressions of ‘desexualisation’, ‘LGBT propaganda’, ‘deviant and harmful movements’.

While 2025 was designated as the ‘Family Year’, the Draft Law Proposal on Amendments to the Turkish Penal Code and Certain Laws came out of the bag this time.
