For residents of Istanbul, the LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Pride Parade is a familiar sight. But attendees at the Turkish city's 13th annual march were forcibly prevented from celebrating.
Riot police used water cannon and rubber bullets to disperse crowds at the 2015 Gay Pride festival. Media reports suggest the march was stopped before it started when the crowds began to denounce Turkey's Conservative President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
