SAVE MY GAY BUTT FROM COMPULSORY ARMY DUTY

Hello!

I’m a 24 year old gay Turkish citizen. In my country the army enforces males who are of age to serve in the military for a minimum of 6 months. This period includes both physical training and military education.

Based on the facts that I am gay,  a person who suffers from panic disorder and depression, I do not wish to ever put myself in a situation where my panic attacks can be triggered or based on my sexuality, I could be beaten by other troop members.

There is a way to avoid the army service. So, according to the laws, people of LGBTQA+ community are considered to have a “Psycho-sexual Disorder” and if they prove their “ilness” they can avoid the service. To be able to have this diagnosis you have to see several doctors and visit several hospitals. Going through a lengthy process to obtain that both humiliates the person and outs them to their relatives. This process involves several tests, two committee hearings which involve several psychiatrists and army members being present and one 1st degree family speaking to the doctors. Moreover, it creates problems when a person wants to work later in life, because companies or employers often request a document to make sure you are not an escapee from the army. And this document can out a person, effectively ruining their chances of getting employed considering Homophobia is extraordinarily rampant in Turkey. Above all, at the end of this process a person is left diagnosed “sick”, outted and spiritually tired, their future destroyed.

I dont want to be diagnosed “SICK” because of my sexuality.

Therefore, my only option is to raise money to pay the fee of 15.000 Turkish Liras which roughly makes 3200 dollars to avoid going to the Army. It is called “Military Service by Payment.” When I reach my goal and make the payment, I will post receipts.

Normally, you cannot pay to avoid Army Service. But the government comes up with a payment program every 5 to 10 years to give people a chance to pay a fee to avoid their Army Service.

Call it luck, or Mariah Carey’s skinniness, this year there is a program and I qualify for the age requirement.

The only requirement I do not meet, is the fact that I have no job, even if I did I could not possibly save up that amount of money and I am coming from a poor family.

Therefore I need the help of allies and my fellow LGBTQA+ members.

I got one chance and this.

people should just embrace jewel tones already if I see one more house entirely decorated in washed out neutral colours I’m gonna sue someone

hell is not a fiery demon pit its a never ending white and cream minimalist apartment, every time someone paints a room entirely white and adds a pale blue throw cushion for “a splash of colour” they are carrying out the work of the devil

Glad to see my lifelong disinterest in golf is paying off

let me tell you about golf

i grew up in a little desert valley called Tucson, Arizona, where it only rains 2 inches a year on average. the majority of the city’s water is pumped from an underground aquifer, which took millions of years to fill. one of the biggest conservation efforts in our city was for water, naturally, and i spent a lot of time learning about low flow toilets and 5 minute showers. i learned that filling your sink basin and washing your dishes in that water is less costly than running the tap. i learned that it only takes 2 days without water on the desert for someone to die

the city was sinking as the aquifer drained. neighborhoods fell into flood zones that didnt exist 10 years ago

there’s a road called Golf Links in the city and it is lined with golf courses. miles of green grass where grass doesn’t grow, in a valley where it doesn’t rain. why? because the rich white retirees who moved there to stop the aching in their joints decided they should also get to play golf. meanwhile our public schools taught small children like me that taking long showers would kill the world

let the golf industry burn

There are 15,500+ golf courses in the United States alone. 

Each one consumes ~312,000 gallons of water per day.

That consumption is equivalent to 55+ million humans per day in the United States… roughly 1/6 the entire population.

We simply cannot sustain this frivolity, especially for something 99% of us will never use.

Destroy golf courses and plant wild grasses and butterfly bushes in their place.

hot take: if women’s sexuality wasn’t severely shamed and suppressed even in the context of heterosexuality, if sex was framed as reciprocal rather than something men do to women, a hell of a lot more women would realize they’re not actually attracted to men at all

the fact that so many of the people reblogging this post are interpreting it as a bitter lesbian whining about how women won’t sleep with her instead of a discussion of how society’s framing of sex negatively affects gay women is incredibly telling of how this website views lesbians

Some people don’t understand how big this is, opening a school, especially a public one is a huge undertaking and even with LeBron money it’s costly.

It’s really nice to see black celebs and athletes actually show their support for the community, rather than sparing a few words about it.

This is how you create wealth

the real “problem with political correctness” is not that it’s considered offensive to use slurs, but that there are now many “progressive” environments where saying the right things is more important than doing the right thing. it’s why it’s so easy for abusers to gain traction in leftist circles (they learn the right words quickly and employ them to frame their own behavior as progressive); it’s why so much potential activist energy gets poured into fighting about language; it’s why moderate liberals didn’t believe fer/guson had a problem until the police emails with actual racist language were leaked. (you can do racist things, you just can’t SAY racist things.) i don’t have a neat conclusion here but a related point is that i’m so much happier since i started focusing on like, being a good kind caring person instead of trying to remove the word “crazy” from the vocabulary of everyone in my family

Just saying this is truly one of the best “discourse” posts on this site like……this hits the nail directly on the head re: what is going on with language right now and everyone pushing back in the notes only serves to further prove the point it’s making

Straight men who embrace their femininity, express emotions in a healthy way and help advocate for minority groups without speaking over them? Big dick energy.

You mean

The thing that makes this even better is the fact that Terry Jefford is Terry Crews (or is it the other way around? I guess we’ll never know)

The internet is keeping score

Tumblr, we know you’ve been fighting valiantly to restore net neutrality. Whether you added widgets to your Tumblrs, or reblogged posts to spread the word to your followers, or contacted your reps asking them to keep the internet free and open as we know it—you’re helping. You’re doing it. Let’s keep that momentum up. 

BattleForTheNet.com (@fight4future) is letting Congress know that the internet is keeping score of every Congressperson who is and is not supporting the restoration of net neutrality. 

Right now you can visit that scoreboard and easily look up whether or not your reps support the Congressional Review Act resolution. 

This CRA will restore the net neutrality rules the FCC dismantled back in November 2017. They have 177 signatures, but need 44 more. You can help make that happen. This grassroots effort is working. Just two days ago Rep. Mike Coffman listened to his constituents from Colorado and became the first Republican to support the Democrat-led CRA. Keep putting that same pressure on your congresspeople. Urge them to sign the petition. If your congressperson has already pledged to support the CRA, reblog this post, add the new widget to your Tumblr (just copy and paste the small line of code from Battle For The Net right into the customize theme page on the web), and shout out what’s happening on all of your social media accounts. We have to spread the word.

Keep going, Tumblr. This matters, and you’re making a marked difference.

Thunderhead from Incredibles was gay.

Theres another one where they don’t know if the hero is a he or she
