Turkey has reportedly blocked an American LGBTQ+ cruise from docking at two of its ports, citing “moral values” in the latest sign of the Islamist-run government’s increasingly hardline stance toward the LGBTQ+ community. The “Athens to Venice” voyage organized by Los Angeles-based Atlantis Events was scheduled to stop in the western Turkish port of Kuşadası on July 7 before continuing to Istanbul. Instead, the cruise will now visit Cairo, Egypt, and the Greek island of Crete, according to CNN, which first reported the ban.
