Turkey: Mother of gay murdered boy screams ‘I would have killed him myself’

[Fearless]

Seventeen-year-old Roşin Çiçek was found beaten, bloody and with a bullet wound in his head at the side of the road in a Turkish town on 2 July 2012. He died two days later.

The victim had been living with a friend’s family because he had been exposed to homophobic violence by his own family.

After a trial lasting nearly two years, a court on Monday convicted Roşin’s father, Metin Çiçek, and found uncles Seyhmus and Mehmut guilty of manslaughter. All three were handed a sentence of life imprisonment.

According to LGBTI News Turkey, Roşin’s mother screamed at the press: “If he [Roşin] were gay, I would have killed him with my own hands. You have shamed us.”

4. HE shamed THEM?! THEY shamed THEMSELVES - what kind of family

Look. Every good parent knows, when you discover your child is gay, you just go get a drink at your local American chain restaurant.
