土耳其军规：证明自己是同性恋可免服兵役

Military service is mandatory for all Turkish men -- they can only escape it if they are ill, disabled or homosexual, BBC reported. But proving homosexuality is a humiliating ordeal。

Those self-claimed homosexual conscripts would be asked questions like if they liked football, whether they had worn women's clothing or used women's perfume。

They also need to provide photographic evidence of their homosexuality. Ahmet, a man in his twenties, gave medical examiners a photograph of him kissing another man and hoped this would give him an exemption。

Turkey's military hospitals still define homosexuality as an illness according to a 1968 document by the American Psychiatric Association。

据英国广播公司报道，土耳其男子需强制服兵役，除非他患病、残疾或是同性恋。但证明同性恋身份饱含羞辱、过程痛苦。

应征者若自称同性恋，体检时会被问及诸多问题，比如他们是否喜欢足球、穿过女子服饰或是否用过女性香水等。

他们还需提供照片为证。20多岁的阿美特交给体检医生一张他与男子亲吻的照片，希望能免于服役。

土耳其军方医院仍沿用1968年美国精神病学协会的文件，将同性恋者当做病人。
