Serenay Sarıkaya

Galatasaray footballer Taylan Antalyali caused quite a stir on Turkish social media when he posed with a “Powered by Pride” T-shirt in support of last week’s gay pride parades. Someone approved of his deed, someone condemned, Taylan nevertheless chose to delete his post. And then the journalists discovered that 9 years ago, when the boy was 17 years old, he left the message “Serenay Sarıkaya is very sexy, I want to get to know her.” Turkish journalists immediately picked up the news that the footballer everyone is talking about is a fan of Serenay.
