Turkey detains 47 in nationwide raids on gay bars and LGBTQ+ activists' homes

Turkish police detained 47 people in raids across 12 provinces targeting gay bars and activists' homes, officials said. The operation falls under the government's "My Family is Safe" campaign to protect family values. Same-sex relations are not a criminal offence in Turkey, but same-sex marriage is not recognised.
