Turkey's Erdogan says 'global gender-neutralisation policies' target families, children

81st United Nations General Assembly at UN headquarters in New York City — Brendan McDermid ANKARA, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan condemned on Tuesday what he called "global gender-neutralisation policies", saying they had turned into a campaign targeting families and children.Speaking at the UN General Assembly, Erdogan said the trend could be countered by protecting the traditional family formed by a man and a woman.His comments came a week after Turkish authorities launched sweeping raids and arrests targeting LGBTQ+ groups under an operation dubbed "My Family is Safe", which the government says is aimed at protecting children and family values. Eighty-two people were jailed pending trial, while more than 100 protesters were also detained. (Reporting by Tuvan Gumrukcu and Ece ToksabayEditing by Gareth Jones) This one's on us.
