Where Was the First Pride Parade in a Muslim-Majority Country?

And the answer is ...

b) Turkey

The first Pride Parade in a Muslim-majority country was held in Turkey in 2003, with just 30 people. Now, the annual event sees over 5,000 people just 8 years later. In size, though, it's no match for NYC's Gay Pride March, with over 1 million people attending every year.
