Kaos Gay and Lesbian Cultural Research and Solidarity Organization (Kaos GL) has published a book titled “Stories from My Dearest Family: Mom! Dad! I'm homosexual” with the support of World Bank.
The book, which was prepared for the Mothers' Day, is based on the experiences of homosexuals -- both who have discussed their sexuality openly with their families and those who have not. “Mothers' Day has always been seen as an event for heterosexual families, but homosexuals have parents, too,” said Ali Erol, one of the founders of Kaos GL. “We aim to make peace between families and homosexuals.” According to Erol, the book aims to make parents ask themselves if their children could come out in case they were homosexual. The World Bank donated $5,000 to Kaos GL last year for the protection and promotion of marginal groups. The funds covered half of the book's costs. Second agreement with World Bank on a project on discrimination in universities is reportedly on the way.
