Gay-themed Mediterranean cruise turned away by Turkey and then Egypt

A Mediterranean cruise ship catering to LGBT travellers was turned away from ports in both Turkey and Egypt, two Muslim-majority countries where official hostility toward gay people has grown in recent years. Notably, the same cruise had previously visited both countries without incident. The episode highlights a hardening of attitudes toward LGBT people across the region.
