The leader of the “Milliy Tiklanish” party has announced the drafting of a law to ban LGBT propaganda in Uzbekistan. There is no information yet on when the draft will be released for public hearings.
This is not the first attempt to promote the idea of “LGBT propaganda” in Uzbekistan, for example, a draft “Information Code” was previously initiated in 2022, which contained vague language restricting media and bloggers from disseminating LGBT information. Article 54 proposed to ban “Propaganda of pornography, unnatural relationships between same-sex couples.” The law is still being drafted.
