Same-sex activity has never been explicitly criminalised in modern Turkey — the Ottoman Penal Code of 1858 removed the criminal prohibition that existed under earlier Islamic law, and the Turkish Republic inherited this position. In formal legal terms, same-sex activity between adults is not illegal. In practice, police routinely invoke public morality, public order and obscenity statutes against LGBTQ+ people and gatherings.

Guida di viaggio
Tutto quello che vale la pena sapere prima di partire.
Istanbul has the largest LGBTQ+ scene in a Muslim-majority country — or had, before the Turkish state began systematically dismantling it after 2015. The Beyoğlu district (Cihangir, Galata, the streets behind İstiklal Caddesi) still hosts gay bars and mixed venues operating in a legal grey zone. Istanbul Pride — once 100,000 people at Taksim Square — has been banned since 2015 and is met with force. The scene is smaller and significantly more discreet than it was at its peak, but it is functioning. Beyoğlu remains Turkey's most LGBTQ+-tolerant neighbourhood.
