BBC's comment has part of truth in it: "Turkish conservatives argue its principles of gender equality and non-discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation undermine family values and promote homosexuality."
However, the reason of timing is different.
This tolerance was highly abused by women, and false rape and domestic violence accusations and are skyrocketed. Hundreds of thousands of men went to jail with no evidence, and women rights movements show no appreciation, instead acted like a win against men on the battlefront.
Therefore since the legal process in Turkey is already enough to protect women, (minor authorities who applies those are the problem) this convention became obsolete.
