Journalists decry crackdown after Turkey blocks news site over ‘LGBT propaganda’ 

By Ali Kucukgocmen

ANKARA, Oct 1 (Reuters) – A Turkish journalist whose articles were cited among the grounds for blocking independent news portal T24 said the decision effectively treated objective reporting about LGBTQ+ people as a crime, as the outlet prepared to appeal the order on Thursday.

A court ordered access to T24’s website and social media accounts blocked after authorities said it had published 118 pieces of content over the past year deemed to constitute “LGBT propaganda”.
