He is fighting for something according to Turkish law, he is not intitled to but why they waited so long to fire him, is a mystery. I think there is more to the story than is told.. He should have served in the military instead of claiming he is gay and now maybe he would not be dealing with this.

I would like to know why something that just happened here in Connecticut which in my eye’s is “Horrific” has not even been mentioned on this website or any other national gay website….a 16yo male had a exorcism performed on him to get the “Gay Demon” out of him! by some church group in Bridgeport Ct….this is one of the reasons kids commit suicide and our community is not even reacting…I’m outraged that we think more of gay pride parades and marriage equality than we do of physical and mental abuse of our people…shameful!

I have no doubt that he will resurrect himself – and simply discussing the situation is a good start. Perseverance, belief in self, patience and the support of good people will see him through. I commen his brave stand and wish him the best.

I hope this brave man prevails in the end. He deserves to work at a good job he can do and to be able to support himself.
