Years ago a friend's rock band was touring Europe and they landed a show at a club in Turkey About a month before the show the owner of the bar sent an email to the booking agent that said "We don't allow fags in our bar, Show canceled" The band had a video with a drag queen in it.
This is a fair decision for Turkey. You can't expect the owner to allow fags, it would bring in the entire country to compete with him in sucking some gay dick, and they just don't have enough seating for that.
