    I am a bisexual guy from Turkey, this is old news.

    From what I heard these days you just go to a psychiatrist and act a bit gay. Then if the psych is not an asshole they give you something called “pink certificate” which makes you exempt from military service.

    But like, I would give my nudes to the government if it means not doing military service. Nobody can make me serve for this (or any) country

    My compulsory service is currently on hold because I am studying in university. Me and my boyfriend are planning to go the the military psychiatrist together to get pink certificates for both of us. Once we finish uni and gtfo of family home ofc

      Based (of you).

      Does Turkey not allow for conscientious objection? Or is it just far too difficult to meet their standards?

        conscientious objection

        In a country where saying anything bad to the flag is a crime, that is literal treason. You’ll probably get your citizenship revoked just for asking
