As a matter of fact, an environment of conservative, moralist oppression has been going on de facto for years with the overnight and unlawful withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention, the inability to prevent violence against women but violently preventing March 8 marches every year, the banning of the LGBTI+ Pride March every year in complete violation of the constitution, the punishment of TV series and movies with LGBTI+ content by the broadcast oversight board RTÜK without any legal basis, and other unlawful restrictions that cannot be counted.The new law proposal uncovered by <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/turkey-write-biological-sex-law-and-criminalise-promotion-lgbtq" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">KaosGL</a> seems to have been prepared to put this de facto oppressive environment into legal cover against LGBTI+ individuals.<p contenteditable="false" fr-original-class="custom-button-wrapper fr-deletable" fr-original-style="text-align:center" style="text-align: center; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; box-sizing: border-box;"><a bgcolor="#ffe144" color="#090909" contenteditable="false" fr-original-class="custom-button-link" fr-original-style="background-color:#ffe144 !important;color:#090909 !important" href="https://aposto.com/s/the-anti-lgbti-tactic-of-populist-regimes?a=customButton" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: rgb(255, 225, 68) !important; color: rgb(9, 9, 9) !important; text-decoration: none; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">CONTINUE READING</a>

In recent years, right-wing populist governments, which also feed on religious elements to consolidate their supporters, have preferred to antagonize and oppress LGBTI+ persons. Russia is one of these countries. If the legal amendment proposal whose details have been leaked in fact is being prepared, it means that the AK Party has decided to board the train of Russia and join LGBTI+'s further marginalization and antagonization.

Sam Altman, zırhlı arabası ve göz korkutucu güvenliğiyle Axios’un evinin kapısında belirdiğinde herkesin gözünde Davos’un en güçlü insanı statüsündeydi. İçeri girdiği dakikadan itibarense, anbean gözümde silikleşti. Biraz geri saralım.&nbsp;Geçen yılın en çok konuşulan konusu, Sam’in OpenAI’dan ayrılması ve geri dönüşünün etrafında şekillenen kaostu. Yeryüzündeki bütün endüstrileri derinden etkileyen, baştan uca işin geleceğini sorgulamamıza neden olan yapay zeka, herkesin kafasında kaçınılmaz olarak buradaki bu büyük gücün nasıl yönetileceği sorusunu uyandırıyor. Sam Altman'ın Axios evindeki 25 kişilik sohbeti, bu soruların bir kısmına onun nasıl yaklaştığının ipuçlarını vermesi bakımından Davos'un zirve noktalarındandı.Gelen ilk soru, Sam Altman'ın 2023 yılından neler öğrendiği üzerineydi. Bu soruya bir CEO'dan çok ürün yöneticisi ya da araştırma sorumlusu gibi cevap veren Altman, bir sonraki modeli geliştirmek için yeterli bilgiye sahip olduklarından ancak bu yıl somut olarak başarmak istedikleri arasında diğer yıllardan farklı bir şey olmadığından bahsetti. ChatGPT’nin bir sonraki versiyonunda genel zeka seviyesinin yükselmesi için çalıştıklarını açıkladı; modelin daha da kompleks hâle gelebileceğinden bahsetti. Fakat, ses tonu ve yaklaşımı, ezberlediği bir metni tekrarlar gibiydi.&nbsp;<img src="https://images.aposto.com/2024/0/4/1706218783741.png" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" width="550" ratio="0.76" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">Sam Altman'ın konuşmasına girebilmek için bekleyenlerin oluşturduğu uzun sıra.Yayıncılar ve OpenAI:&nbsp;Ardından konu, New York Times'ın açtığı telif hakkı davasına geldi. Burada açıkça, farklı medya şirketlerinin büyük datasına ihtiyaçları olmadığını asıl ihtiyacın küçük ölçekli ancak en kaliteli data olduğundan bahsetti. Axel Springer ile yaptıkları gibi anlaşmalar isteyeceklerini, medya ve habercilik endüstrisini herhangi bir şekilde tehlikeye atmak gibi bir maksatları olmadığını açıkça beyan etti.&nbsp;İnsan hakları ve OpenAI: Axios’un Şef Teknoloji Muhabiri Ina Fried'ın sorduğu ilginç bir soru, LGBTI+ haklarıyla ilgili ChatGPT’nin nasıl eğitileceği yönündeydi. Altman'ın buna cevabı tam bir hayal kırıklığıydı. Her ülkenin kendi kültürel kodları olduğundan, bununla ilgili ekstra bir aksiyon almayacaklarından, kısıtlamaya gitme niyetleri olmadığından bahsetti. Tam aksi buradaki bağlamların ülkeden ülkeye değişiklik göstermesinin bir "özgürlük ve duyarlılık" göstergesi olduğundan dem vururken, hakları belirlemesi gerekenin kendileri olmadığını söyledi. “Dünyayı dönüştüren bir teknolojistin bu konudaki ekstrem liberten yaklaşımı dünyayı geriye götürmüyor mu?” sorusunu ise aklımdan çıkaramıyorum.&nbsp;Sam Altman ve yatırımları: Y Combinator’da geçirdiği uzun dönemin ardından OpenAI’ın hızlı yükselişiyle birlikte girişimlere yatırım yapmayı bıraktığını söyleyen Altman, bunun sebebinin ne vakit ne enerji olarak artık kendini yatırımcı statüsünde görmemesi olduğunu belirtti. Eskiden yatırım yaptığı girişimlere katkı vermeyi ise bir zorunluluk olarak gördüğü için devam ettirdiğinden bahsetti.&nbsp;OpenAI’ın manşetlere taşındığı, her yerin yapay zekayla dolduğu bir yılın sonunda, Sam Altman’ın bütün sorulara sakin sakin, kitaptan okur gibi kopyala-yapıştır cevaplar vermesi gerçekten ilginçti. Yapay zekanın getirdikleri ve getirecekleriyle, Sam’in vizyonunun tam olarak aynı yöne gitmediği aşikar gözüküyor. Yani yapay zeka sahnesine çıkacak yeni liderler için fazlasıyla yer var.&nbsp;

Davos'ta Sam Altman'la öğle yemeği sohbeti

Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ announced last week that ‘We will probably submit the constitutional amendment proposal to the Presidency of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey next week’ and stated that the proposal will be submitted to parliament this week. Another title of the constitutional amendment, which also includes the ‘legalisation of the headscarf’, is ‘protection of the family'.At the beginning of this month, President Erdoğan said, ‘Strong families give birth to strong nations. Let us create strong families so that we can be a strong nation. A weak family weakens a strong nation. We do not want to give this opportunity.’&nbsp;One step behind: President Erdoğan responded to CHP leader Kılıçdaroğlu's call for ‘legalising the headscarf’ with a call for a ‘constitutional amendment’. Erdoğan said, ‘Let's not stop there, let's make additional amendments that will strengthen our family institution, which consists of the union of men and women, and enable us to look to our future with confidence.’Why? There have been anti-LGBTQIA+ discourses in Turkey for a long time. In recent months, a rally called ‘Big Family Meeting’ was organised, banners with anti-LGBTQIA+ statements were carried and slogans were chanted. Minister of Interior Süleyman Soylu has made opposing discourses many times, and in a statement he made in August, he said, ‘This is why they want to unleash LGBTI or what is it, sexlessness on this country. First they will acclimatise, and then they will take our children away from us. We see all of these.’ In October, Minister of Industry and Technology Mustafa Varank said, ‘You can do whatever you want, but if you impose sexlessness, if you continue to undermine the concept of family, we will not say goodbye to anyone.’What will happen?&nbsp;Minister of Justice Bozdağ stated that paragraphs will be added to Article 24 of the Constitution, and the first paragraph of Article 41 will be amended. While Article 24 is expected to be amended regarding the headscarf, Article 41 is expected to be amended to read ‘The family is the foundation of Turkish society and is based on equality between spouses.’ It is believed that the word ‘spouses’ will be replaced with ‘men and women.’&nbsp;It is stated that with this word change, it is planned to constitutionally prevent marriage equality. Currently, no same-sex unions are recognised in Turkey, nor are marriages or similar unions outside the country. Marriage is restricted between a man and a woman by the article in the Civil Code which reads: ‘The man and woman who are to marry each other apply together to the marriage registrar's office in the place where one of them resides…’.&nbsp;How is it in other countries?&nbsp;In the image below, you can see the latest status of legal regulations on marriage equality and homosexuality.Today, marriage equality is recognised in the USA and most European countries. Although there are discourses against LGBTQIA+s in almost every country, countries acknowledge their existence in legal status and approve of their marriage rights. Of course, this process has not been going on for a long time but has been developing rapidly, especially in the last 10 years. If we look at a few countries:&nbsp;Netherlands:&nbsp;The Netherlands was the first country to legalise marriage equality. With the decision taken on 1 April 2001, homosexual couples were granted the same rights as heterosexual couples, including adoption.&nbsp;Belgium:&nbsp;In Belgium, where marriage equality was legalised in 2003, same-sex couples were granted the right to adopt children in 2006.&nbsp;Spain: In Spain, where marriage equality was legalised in 2005, couples can adopt whether they are married or not.&nbsp;Canada: Marriage equality in the country entered national law in July 2005 and was legalised nationwide. Before this period, it was legal in some provinces.South Africa:&nbsp;The first African country to allow marriage equality, South Africa legalised adoption in November 2006.Norway: the country's 2009 law paved the way for same-sex couples to marry and adopt, but for the past 20 years same-sex couples have enjoyed many of the same legal rights as unmarried heterosexual couples, under the term 'civil partnership'.Sweden: Since 1995, civil partnerships have been recognised, and in 2003 couples were granted the right to adopt a child. In May 2009, it was legalised for couples to marry in a civil or religious ceremony.&nbsp;France:&nbsp;In April 2013, a bill allowing marriage equality and adoption was approved by the parliamentary plenary and signed into law by the president.Argentina:&nbsp;On 14 July 2010, Argentina became the first South American country to have marriage equality and adoption rights after the law was passed by parliament.USA:&nbsp;In 1996, a federal law called the Defence of Marriage Act (DOMA) defined marriage as ‘the union of one man and one woman’. The law was canceled by the Constitutional Court in 2013. However, marriage equality had previously been legalised in several states, including Massachusetts, California, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York. In 2015, the Supreme Court ruled that marriage equality is a legal right and legalised it across the country. Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote the judgment, said, ‘No union is deeper than marriage.’United Kingdom:&nbsp;Marriage equality is now legal in all parts of the United Kingdom, although it was recognized at different times in different regions.&nbsp;Switzerland:&nbsp;Same-sex marriage became legal as of 1 July 2022 after it was approved in a referendum held in September 2021.Taiwan:&nbsp;Taiwan's Parliament passed the legalisation of marriage equality in 2019. Taiwan became the first Asian country to take this decision, and approved the right to adoption, albeit in a limited way, with the same law.Mexico: In Mexico, same-sex marriages became legal throughout the country, with the northeastern border state of Tamaulipas also approving marriage equality.&nbsp;On the other hand, especially in Middle Eastern countries, it is seen that LGBTQIA+ persons are not recognised for their fundamental human rights and are subjected to criminal sanctions due to their sexual orientation.&nbsp;Is family unity achieved by men and women?&nbsp;Stating that a strong family constitutes a strong society, President Erdoğan had stated that with the regulation to be made, ‘They will set a barrier against threats to the family institution and human nature.’&nbsp;Just the other day, AKP Deputy Chairman Hayati Yazıcı said about the regulation on the institution of the family, ‘Family unity consists of the marriage of a man and a woman, it is as clear as that. Can there be a citizen against this?’However, when compared to the rest of the world, it is possible to see that marriage is guaranteed as a constitutional right in many countries, and that the union between two people and sexual orientation is also recognised as a fundamental right and freedom. It would not be wrong to say that all countries attach importance to family and family unity and regard it as the basic building block of society. In this context, when we evaluate the changes and decisions taken by countries over the years, we can say that family unity and strength can be achieved through free and equal rights rather than marriage between men and women. &nbsp;<blockquote fr-original-style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); border-color: rgb(37, 44, 60); border-width: 4px; font-style: italic; padding-left: 10px;" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); border-color: rgb(37, 44, 60); border-width: 4px; font-style: italic; padding-left: 10px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; border-left-style: solid; box-sizing: border-box;">‘Homosexuals must also be legally secured within the framework of their rights and freedoms.
