Minister of Family and Social Services Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş targeted LGBTI+ persons again. Göktaş targeted LGBTI+s at the 8th Turkey Meeting of Eğitim Bir-Sen Women's Commission on Saturday, 22 February.
Reminding that 2025 was declared as the ‘Family Year’, Göktaş claimed that ‘family values have been discredited’ and targeted LGBTI+s by using the expression ‘desexualisation’.
Göktaş said ‘we see the family issue as a matter of national security’ and said:
"Family values are being targeted, especially with attempts to influence our youth. Motherhood and fatherhood are being discredited and family ties are weakening. Today, we are faced with global impositions of de-sexing that target our family structure and values, especially our children. These harmful trends and habits negatively affect all family members. It can lead to irreparable consequences. We know that there is a very strong relationship between family and society. If the family weakens, the society starts to dissolve. Therefore, protecting the family also means protecting the society. For this reason, we see the family issue as a national security issue at the same time."
