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 demolished in 2015 for reasons unrelated to LGBT rights but for infrastructure work. They've been rebuilt. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-rainbow-stairs-idUSL1N3682BH www.hurriyetdailynews.com/amp/colorful-stairs-of-gezi-to-be-demolished-in-istanbuls-karakoy-neighborhood-86012
