Summary
In 2003, Istanbul Pride became the first LGBT parade in a Muslim-majority country. Every subsequent year turnout swelled. Around 100,000 people marched from Taksim Square down İstiklal Boulevard in 2014. In 2015, though, police attacked and dispersed revelers with water cannons and rubber bullets (Knight 2015). In June 2016, a month before the coup attempt, Grey Wolves joined Islamists in threatening to attack marchers, and Istanbul’s governor banned the event on grounds of security concerns, establishing a precedent that the governorate would follow in subsequent years (AP 2016). Some defied the ban, and riot police responded with more rubber bullets.
