The survey from across the country showed a strong intolerance towards homosexuality and co-habitation."
"You would not know it from a night out in cosmopolitan Istanbul, but it seems two-thirds of Turks across the country disapprove of people who go to bars and nightclubs.
Even more are apparently uncomfortable with homosexuality. And 56% say they disapprove of men who wear earrings."
"The poll reveals deep conservatism on all things concerning the family and on the role of women there in particular.
Whilst almost nine in 10 people questioned said women should be equal in politics and business, two in three also said a woman should give up her career if her duties to husband and home are suffering.
Religion is a key factor in all major decisions. But according to the survey most Turks are tolerant of other Muslims who do not fast, cover their heads or pray."
