    I hope if it was them, they rot in jail for the rest of their lives.

    Let's hope the Turkish government brings them to justice and doesn't let them off easily due to to homophobia/corruption/both.

    This is a sad, sad thing. Parents are supposed to unconditionally care for their child, to be the people that no matter what the world throws at them, the child can always sit down and talk with them. This is terrible, and I hope they receive the appropriate penalty for such a heinous crime as murdering their own child.

    I think it's so horrible that people are getting killed because of who they love, that's why sometimes, maybe, marriage equality isn't all over the world, but, thankfully, not every government allows people to be killed. Turkey and countries surrounding it are really strict when it comes to gays, so it's normal to do things like this there, but, when you come from somewhere where this doesn't happen on a daily basis, you find it absolutely abnormal and just insane and unjust. I just can't believe this is actually allowed to happen, it's so upsetting.

    I was reading about a woman in Pakistan who was raped by her father and five brothers. She was later strangled by her mother because somehow she was responsible for the shame upon the family, and they call these honor killings.
