Hey, it’s not why im gay but im always happy to make Erdogan uncomfortable

Best way of angering a world leader for a boy is to kiss a boy and for a girl to kiss a girl appearently.

It's the simple things that bring me joy in multiple ways.

Fellas, is it gay to see colors?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes

You're all gay bois, especially the girls.

That's a misconception. Dogs have two types of cones compared to three types in humans, meaning they're roughly equivalent to red-green colorblindness but not grayscale.

This clearly means they're bi-curious allies.

[–] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That makes more sense. Dogs are allies!

So this guy is scared of (checks notes) the visible light spectrum?...

If they paint the entire space and all the furniture in VantaBlack it is going to make things like finding where the walls and your chair are, very difficult.

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

His bedroom is painted Baker-Miller Pink

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hmm.

I feel like we should let somebody go in and tag the desk or whatever erdogan is going to be sitting at. Only ask: must be colorful

[–] SmashingSquid@notyour.rodeo 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I say combine the ideas. Everything black except the top of his desk in pride colors.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This… qualifies as colorful. You’re hired. Have fun. Don’t have to stop at erdogan’s…. Feel free to go crazy and experiment

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I suggest pretty in pink. If there's anything I've learned, is that homophobia is often rooted in misogyny.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 61 points 1 year ago

This is what we call a "snowflake"

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 50 points 1 year ago (1 children)

most fragile masculinity on the planet.

we make fun of people going there on vacation.

turkey is so weak, they want to be called turkieye ...because fragile

turkey has a loser dictator whose wife is an imbecile thinking midgets are children.

turkey to me is the laughing stock of europe.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are not part of europe.

[–] Cavemanfreak@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Turkey lies in both in Europe and Asia. They are however not members of the European Union.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yes, sorry. 3% of Turkey lies in Europe. To 97% they are in Asia.

[–] Cavemanfreak@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Yes. 3% of the land, but 10% of the population. However you look at it, they are still part of Europe.

[–] CreativeShotgun@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lol people arguing over the significance of lines men drew on maps, tale as old as time.

[–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good. The LGBT will destroy him with the gay beam!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

So, carebears were gay all along? I thought they were just nice with weirdly glowing bellies.

Nah thats the gay beam of doom.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Colorful big-bellied bears? Oh my

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 43 points 1 year ago

Imagine being fragile to a point where a color palette bothers you.

[–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

I’m bothered by this guy’s face

[–] fruitleatherpostcard@lemm.ee 31 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

‘Bothered’ ? Like ‘hot and bothered’? Like it makes him horny?

Maybe he needs to be seen to by one of the many muscular waddling Turkish bears that make up so much of his country, before going into a UN meeting, to relax him.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

$100 say this guys snorts coke off a dick on weekends.

[–] Duranie@lemmy.film 7 points 1 year ago

Then I'm guessing rubs the residue on his gums. Repeatedly.

Can't let it go to waste!

[–] Hubi@feddit.de 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's just pandering towards his conservative Islamic base. How is this even newsworthy?

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

Because its melodramatic, and thats what the news is these days.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

Stay bothered?

[–] brblitz@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Someone should tell this fella that colors don't make you gay. It's all the dicks he sucks

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Fuck you Erdogan, that's exactly what it is. We gayed it up. The whole UN is gay now. You don't get to have colors any more, they belong to us.

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why doesn't this guy just die already fr

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I often wonder the same for about 90% of politicians

[–] sndmn@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

You should stick with sodomizing goats in private Turdogan.

[–] Nepenthe@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Ah. Would our darling Erdoğan like to show us what he knows of interior design?

[–] t0m5k1@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Poor twat is so myopic.

[–] AndreTelevise@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The symbol in the middle was a blindspot? The only thing remotely resembling a flag was on the sides, and even then it surely didn't look like the 6-color Rainbow Flag.

[–] febra@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What a moron as usual

[–] autotldr@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Erdogan said he would have liked to discuss it with U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Turkish media reported on Thursday.

Turkey’s government — led by Erdogan and his Islamist-rooted AK Party — has toughened its stance on LGBTQ freedoms.

“One of the issues that bothers me the most ... is that when entering the United Nations General Assembly, you see the LGBT colors on steps and other places,” Erdogan was quoted as saying by broadcaster Haberturk and others.

However, some U.N. diplomats suggested Erdogan might have confused the 17 different colors associated with the Sustainable Development Goals — and decorating parts of U.N. headquarters, including steps, for a summit that was held earlier this week — with the rainbow Pride colors associated with LGBTQ rights.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by world leaders in 2015 with a deadline of 2030, are a global “to do” list that includes wiping out hunger, extreme poverty, battling climate change and inequality, and promoting gender equality.

Homosexuality is not a crime in Turkey, but hostility to it is widespread, and police crackdowns on Pride parades have become tougher over the years.


The original article contains 326 words, the summary contains 187 words. Saved 43%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Here's the best summary I could come up with - UN makes Erdogan uncomfortable by correctly guessing he loves the cock

[–] UnforgettableName@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks for this. First real chuckle I've had today. Kudos.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Now wait a minute. I thought the LGBT flag was a rainbow? So any color UN uses is going to look like "LGBT colors".
