Human rights groups call on Romania to reject ‘LGBTQ+ propaganda’ law

admin, , , ,

Human rights groups have urged Romania to reject a bill banning so-called ‘gay propaganda’ in schools, like those introduced in Hungary and Russia. The law, which has passed through the Senate, would see materials “promoting” being LGBTQ+ heavily restricted. Parliament’s lower house has the final say on whether or not it is introduced, with activists calling on it to stop it moving forward. LGBTQ+ rights groups such as ACCEPT and MozaiQ said the legislation must not be implemented as it will have the power to limit things such as news…

Guatemala Congress votes to ban same-sex marriage and teaching of sexual diversity in schools

Polish govt introduces ‘de-facto ban’ on LGBTQ+ teaching in schools

Poland’s parliament has approved a law that will essentially ban teaching LGBTQ-inclusive topics in schools. On the afternoon of 13 January, the educational reform was adopted into law after being debated in the Sejm (the lower house of Poland’s parliament) a day earlier.

It gives superintendents the power to overrule any teaching materials that are given to schools by outside groups,…
