When my husband and I, just married (after 32 years of 'cohabitation')and on honeymoon in Istanbul, checked into the booked hotel, our reservation proved to be problematic because... the hotel staff ''had not prepared for two single beds''... they felt so sorry !
So, we said that a double bed was much better... but this revelation caused great embaraassment to them...

i also have a turkish girlfriend,,many many times we came across similar logic. Turkish people act as though homosexuality does not exist. Unfortunately it is safer to hide everything. I dont know if I could live there, I feel if we get found out, something bad may happen.
