If you haven't seen the Pride Parade of Istanbul yet, then you are missing out the most soulful walk of the year. Coupled with the support of Gezi Park protestors, this year's parade has turned into a colourful resistance of the oppressed...The main slogan goes 'Where are u my luv?, Here I am, my luv!' 

Sepehr Vahabi, who has lost one of his eyes due to the use of plastic bullets by Turkish Police. The banner says "I am watching you", the literal translation would be 'My eye is over/watching you'..
