Deputy Edil Zhanbyrshin Calls for a Ban on LGBT Propaganda in Kazakhstan
Majilis deputy Edil Zhanbyrshin has proposed a ban on LGBT propaganda in Kazakhstan, referencing recent legislation in the US recognizing only two genders — male and female. He stated that such laws have shocked the LGBT community globally. Zhanbyrshin emphasized that similar proposals in Kazakhstan face resistance and called for laws to penalize information campaigns against such initiatives.
Legislative Proposal
Edil Zhanbyrshin revealed that the Majilis has been working on bills to ban LGBT propaganda but noted significant obstacles:
- Resistance from some officials;
- Information campaigns targeting deputies advocating for the ban.
“A petition against LGBT propaganda has gathered 50,000 signatures in just two weeks,” Zhanbyrshin said, emphasizing public support for the initiative.
US Example Referenced
Zhanbyrshin cited the example of the US, where legislation recognizing only two genders has been introduced. He argued that this decision surprised the global LGBT community, which traditionally viewed the West as an ally.
“A warm hello to all LGBT representatives from Uncle Donald [Trump]!” he remarked, referencing the law passed during Trump’s administration.
Call to Action
Zhanbyrshin urged:
- The development of laws banning LGBT propaganda;
- Holding accountable those who organize information campaigns against deputies supporting these laws.
Social Polarization
The deputy’s initiative has sparked public debate:
- Support: Many petition signatories believe such laws would protect national values and culture.
- Criticism: Opponents argue that banning LGBT propaganda infringes on human rights and exacerbates stigma.
International Context
Similar initiatives are gaining traction in other countries, particularly in Eastern Europe and Asia, where conservative views are on the rise. However, such measures often face criticism from international human rights organizations.
