International news media called Ahmet Yildiz’s murder the "first Turkish gay honor killing." The crime and the discourses that unfolded in its aftermath speak to racializing narratives within Turkey, as well as across transnational queer circuits, and to the imagined transnational division of labor between the domestic and the public, where the relationship between sex and violence is used to shore up the West as the place of stranger danger by establishing the so-called "East" as the location of family violence.

And with no end in sight to the conflicts that prompt many people to make their way to Europe at any cost, it is likely to continue for some time.
