"We Are Exhausted by Fascism": The 2025 Struggle for LGBTİ+ Rights

LGBTİ+ people are demanding a livable world, not just for themselves, but for everyone. This was the consistent message in 2025. Across Turkey and the globe, LGBTİ+ individuals persistently appeared in public spaces. They spoke out despite rising opposition. Their activism focused on a core idea: the fight for LGBTİ+ rights is a fight for a better society for all people. They argued that equality and freedom create a more livable world for everyone. The phrase "We are exhausted by fascism," heard from activists, captures a growing global sentiment. It reflects fatigue with policies and rhetoric targeting their community.
