Gay Sex Is 'Natural', Turkish Court Rules

An Istanbul court ruled on Monday that consensual sex between two men is natural. The landmark ruling contradicts rulings made in the past by the country’s Supreme Court, Gay Star News reports.

The ruling involved a merchant who was caught selling 125 DVDs of gay porn. The trader’s personal information has not been published but his initials are D.M. D.M. faced up to four years in prison as Turkey’s penal code outlaws citizens from owning, selling, distributing and publishing "unnatural sex" videos.

In a surprise ruling, however, Jude Manmut Erdemli said that sexual orientation cannot be considered unnatural and it should be respected. The ruling goes against the country’s Supreme Court, which has ruled that gay sex is unnatural, along with beastality, in past cases.

Good for the court, and good for Turkey. I'm a little surprised by this ruling myself, but all credit to them. I hope they can reverse the tide of Islamisation and strengthen secularism in their country.

And so a little more faith in basic humanity is restored for me.
