The Turkish Cons to on and internaonal conven ons to which Turkey is a party legally guarantee many rights such as the right to life, prohibi on of torture and illtreatment, prohibi on of discrimina on, right to liberty and security, freedom of thought and expression, right to freedom of associa on and peaceful assembly. In this context, it is the state’s duty to establish rule of law that social exclusion is prevented and a minimum level of life worthy of human dignity is ensured for everyone, and that the rights guaranteed by national and international conven ons are applied equally to everyone without discrimina on. The Turkish state, by ignoring legal regula ons, shows a number of prac ces by suspending its posi ve and nega ve obliga ons, especially towards certain groups, and as a result, serious human rights viola ons occur. From past to present, the hateful, provoca ve and aggressive discourse of the state's top officials and poli cians against LGBTI+ persons paves the way for the viola on of the rights of LGBTI+ persons in all areas of life. Despite the intense discrimina on and hate speech against LGBTI+ persons, which is the basis for the viola on of many other rights, especially the viola on of the right to life, the violence and rights demands of LGBTI+ persons have not seen a serious response for a long me in human rights non-governmental organizations. Hate speech is any prejudice-based, nega ve and offensive verbal, wri en or visual expression that targets a person or group of persons because of their religion, language, race, ethnic iden ty, disability, age, gender, sexual orienta on and similar characteris cs.
