Bulgaria's parliament passed changes to its education law on August 7, 2024 widening its scope to ban LGBTQ "propaganda" in schools in what rights groups slammed as "discriminatory". The amendment to the law, proposed by the country's pro-Russian Vazrazhdane party, passed by a large majority, with 159 votes in favour, 22 against and 12 abstentions. The law now bans the “propaganda, promotion or incitement in any way, directly or indirectly, in the education system of ideas and views related to non-traditional sexual orientation and/or gender identity other than the biological one”.
