"A part of society with different qualities in terms of social class, race, religion, sect, or region could therefore explicitly incite another part [of the society] to grudges and enmity, posing an open and imminent danger in terms of public safety," the statement added.

The announcement follows a ban on a LGBTQ film festival, Pink Life QueerFest, organized with the German embassy. The festival was set to take place on Nov. 16 and 17, featuring four films screening in Ankara cinemas.
"Suggesting that these screenings could be provocative or targeted by terror groups only serves to legitimize those people and institutions that produce hate speech towards us and see our existence as a threat," the festival's statement reads, as per a translation by Hurriyet.
"It only goes to deprive us of our constitutional rights under the name of 'protection.'"

"There can be no legitimate or legal grounds for such a wholesale ban that touches the core of rights," it reads.
"We expect this decision to be rethought and withdrawn in the shortest amount of time. In our country where discrimination and hate based on sexual orientation and gender identity is rampant, it is the duty of national and local administrations to combat this discrimination and hate."
Homosexuality is not illegal in Turkey. Despite this, Istanbul's Pride Week has been banned by authorities three years a row.
This year, Istanbul's governorship also gave public order and safety as reasons for the ban on the LGBTQ event.
