Bulgarien Verbietet Nicht Heterosexuelle Themen In Schulen

Bulgarian Parliament Bans Non-Heterosexual Messaging in Schools

Swift Legislative Action

In a rapid legislative move, the Bulgarian Parliament has passed an amendment banning non-heterosexual ideas in schools. This is a rare instance of a law being adopted through an expedited process in Bulgaria.

Specific Restrictions

The ban extends to topics such as same-gender relationships and gender identity. Schools are prohibited from disseminating any materials or engaging in discussions that promote these concepts.

Protection of "Traditional Values"

Supporters of the amendment argue that it is necessary to protect traditional values and the innocence of children. They express concern that exposure to non-heterosexual ideas could harm young minds.

Opposition and International Reaction

Opponents of the ban have criticized it as discriminatory and a violation of LGBTQ+ rights. They argue that it will create a hostile environment for LGBTQ+ students and stifle open dialogue.

The international community has expressed concern over the ban, with the European Union and human rights organizations condemning it as a setback for equality and tolerance.
