TURKEY GAY RESOURCES AND OTHER GAY INTERNET WEBSITES

The gay life of Turkey has been developing very rapidly in the last 10 years, probably with the help of internet as well. Internet has helped gay groups around the country combine and expand their activism efforts and has created a very liberal media for Turkish gays and lesbians. As a result hundreds of websites have been published for the community and many more is coming up. The most popular gay and lesbian websites have been gay dating or chat websites in Turkey like in most other countries, but most of these websites expanded their contents in time to include gay news, info sharing, coverage of political issues etc.  Even some country wide popular Turkish non-gay websites have assigned sub-pages and special gay chat channels for the local gay community. For example the most visited website all over Turkey Mynet.com (with a traffic rank of 382 at Alexa) has special chat channels for gay people for more than 5 years.  Majority of the gay websites in Turkey are published in Turkish. During the same period, Turkish gay men have also started interacting with other gay people from all around the world, and there have been considerable developments in gay travel as well. The gay bars and clubs have also started publishing their own business websites which would have English pages for gay visitors from other countries. We are listing here the most prominent samples of websites or web-pages published in English, but remember these are just a drop of water in the sea when compared to hundreds of gay websites published in Turkish.
