Widespread revulsion over the obscenity of trans propaganda and violence against women at the Paris Olympics is believed to have helped traditionalist forces will a huge victory in Bulgaria.
On August 7, the Parliament of Bulgaria passed an amendment to the Law for Preschool and School Education banning LGBT “propaganda” in schools by a massive majority of 159 votes in favour to 22 opposed, with 12 abstentions.
The amendment was posed by the Vazrazhdane (Revival) Party and gained widespread support from political parties across the spectrum, with MPs citing inappropriate sex education brochures and books being provided to both children and teens.
The amendment bans “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.” Parliamentarians also voted on text that specifically defines “non-traditional sexual orientation” as “different from the generally accepted and established notions in the Bulgarian legal tradition of emotional, romantic, sexual or sensual attraction between persons of opposite sexes.”
