flag Kazakhstan bans LGBTQ+ "propaganda" in public, media, and online, citing child protection and tradition.

flag Kazakhstan’s lower house has passed a law banning LGBTQ+ “propaganda” in media, online platforms, and public spaces, citing protection of children and traditional values. flag The bill, passed unanimously, forbids content promoting non-traditional sexual orientations or pedophilia, with fines and up to 10 days’ jail for repeat offenses. flag It now moves to the Senate and requires President Tokayev’s approval. flag Critics, including human rights groups, warn it threatens LGBTQ+ rights and violates international obligations. flag The law follows a 2024 petition with 50,000 signatures and mirrors similar legislation in Russia, Georgia, and Hungary.
