Censorship of LGBTQ issues

Censorship of LGBTQ issues is practised by some countries around the world. It may take a variety of forms, including anti-LGBTQ curriculum laws in some states of the United States, the Russian anti-LGBTQ law prohibiting the "promotion of non-traditional sexual relationships", the Hungarian anti-LGBTQ law banning "content portraying or promoting sex reassignment or homosexuality", and laws in some Islamic states such as Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and Iran prohibiting advocacy that offends Islamic morality.

The table below lists, in chronological order, the United Nations member states that have passed laws explicitly prohibiting "propaganda of homosexuality and non-heterosexual orientation".

Several countries criminalize same-sex sexual activity while also maintaining specific 'promotion of homosexuality' statutes.

English translation:

Article 19.16. Section 1: The dissemination in any form of information aimed at forming in the public an impression of the attractiveness of homosexual relations, gender reassignment, childlessness, or the recognition of the acceptability of pedophilia

Section 2: The same actions committed through the use of the internet, mass media, or other public platforms, or in a manner that makes such information accessible to minors shall entail the imposition of a fine in the amount of 30 to 50 base units, or administrative arrest, or community service.

Original text (Belarusian):

Артыкул 19.16. Чыстка 1: Распаўсюджванне ў любой форме інфармацыі, накіраванай на фарміраванне ў грамадстве ўяўлення аб прывабнасці гомасексуальных адносін, змены полу, бяздетнасці або прызнанне дапушчальнасці педафіліі
