Adopted a period ago, the amendment of the Education Act, prohibiting the promotion of LGBT+ ideology in schools, brought a wave of global criticism to the Bulgarian authorities. It has left-wing media and foreign-sponsored organizations.
The vast majority of parliamentarians (159 against 22 and 12 abstaining) advocated a period ago a ban on sex indoctrination. 4 hours of debate would be adequate for the people to agree that "untypical sexual orientation differs from the mostly accepted and rooted in the Bulgarian legal tradition of the concept of emotional, romantic, sexual or sensual attraction between the other sex."
Members have so prohibited "propaganda, popularisation and incitement" to any ideas and concepts related to "non-typical sexual orientation or the definition of non-biological sex identity".
Kostadin Kostadinow, a leader described as the right-wing organization “Rebirth” defined the promotion of LGBT+ ideology as an inhumane, inhumane non-humane proceeding. The organization recalled the constitutional evidence of the defining matrimony relation between man and woman.
Petar Nikolav from the GERB group recalled the Christian identity of his country. He pointed out that in the propaganda of moral revolutionaries children are portrayed as an object of ‘alternative’ sexual orientation.
It didn't take long for the left side to react. The Bulgarian Helsinki Committee has warned about "infringement of fundamental human rights" as a consequence of the amendment.
The European Commission, in a letter to the Minister for Education and Science, Galin Cokov asked for ‘further information on legislation’, stating:
"The Commission has consistently implemented its commitment to combat discrimination, inequality and challenges faced by LGBTIQ people – including education, in line with our November 2020 LGBTIQ Equality Strategy".
UN typical Liz Throssell called on Sofia to "reconsider law in the light of the country's global human rights commitments". "The problem of stigmatisation and disinformation is crucial to promoting acceptance, tolerance and the creation of inclusive societies," she added.
Feminists in the LevFem group fear that the amendment of the bill will prevent the alleged harassment in schools called “lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transsexuals”.
Rainbow group Forbes Colors "deeply afraid that Bulgaria is taking tactics from the Russian anti-human rights manual". She besides called on Brussels to "take decisive action" against the authorities in Sofia.
The Remnant paper portal highlighted an interesting convergence. A number of critics of the amendment (e.g. the French portal "Le Monde" and left-wing MP Jawor Bożankov of the pro-EU organization PP-DB) described the parliamentary majority favorable to the amendment as... pro-Russian.
"This law does not apply only to Bulgaria — it is simply a Russian law that has penetrated the heart of Europe," alarmed Rémy Bonny, manager at the pro-gender organization Forbidden Colors.
‘(...) The members of LGBTQ+ cult in Bulgaria and beyond effort to teach the Bulgarian government at best democracy and another left-wing clichés, possibly even shortly they will escape to criminal measures to put force on Sofia to give in to their awakened, hostile life agenda," noted the writer The Remnant Newspaper.
