 |

The Council of Europe’s human rights commissioner on Monday said he was “deeply concerned” by an LGBTQ “promotion” ban passed by Bulgaria’s parliament, urging President Rumen Radev “not to sign it”. Bulgaria last Wednesday passed changes to its education law, widening its scope to ban LGBTQ “propaganda” in schools in what rights groups have slammed as “discriminatory”. 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”.
