For context: Vice-President of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and President of the Turkish Red Cross tweeted yesterday that LGBTI+s "violate healthy creation, replace abnormal with the normal and impose their paedophiliac dreams" https://twitter.com/BorGuley/status/1277483812218429443
Enraged? So are we! Tweet to @IFRC, @Francescorocca and sign the petition here: http://chng.it/wzkFsYzNBk

Great to hear @ifrc is taking action. It’s past time that int’l institutions call out Turkey on its ridiculous attempt at hiding systematic attacks against LGBTI+s to try and save whatever face remains. https://twitter.com/ifrc/status/1277595351457959938
Why is Kerem Kinik still the VP of @ifrc after tweeting hate speech against LGBTI+ people & why did @ifrc delete the tweet where they condemn 'homophobia and hate speech of all kind'? Does this mean you condone this behavior @Francescorocca? https://twitter.com/josephalafac/status/1286759902208299008
Unacceptable that your "next course of action" is to ignore your VP calling LGBTI+s "those who violate healthy creation, replace abnormal with the normal using their communication power, impose their paedophiliac dreams cloaked as modernity to young minds" @ifrc @Francescorocca
They already have full impunity in Turkey for any and all hate speech against LGBTI+ people, but I wouldn't have guessed that @ifrc of all institutions would turn a blind eye towards such blatant discriminatory statements by its own vice president. Such a shame!
