Original Note:
The artist who painted these steps in Istanbul in 2013 stated, "I didn't do it for a group or as a form of activism. I did it to make people smile." The steps were later demolished in 2015 for reasons also unrelated to LGBT rights as part of wider infrastructure work. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/amp/entry/istanbul_b_7440890/ www.hurriyetdailynews.com/amp/colorful-stairs-of-gezi-to-be-demolished-in-istanbuls-karakoy-neighborhood-86012
