A Dangerous Draft Bill
The Romanian Chamber of Deputies is currently deliberating on a dangerous anti-LGBTQI draft bill. After two past failed attempts in 2019 and 2020, the new draft law would prohibit the dissemination of information on sexual orientation and gender identity to minors (under 18).
The bill was tacitly adopted by the Romanian Senate on 2 May 2022 and received a favourable report from the Romanian Human Rights Committee in the Chambers of Deputies on 8 June 2022.
If passed, the bill would have a disastrous effect on the Romanian LGBTQI community and its allies, and would make Romania the 7th Council of Europe Member State to implement laws or policies preventing learners from receiving LGBTQI inclusive content and Inclusive Education in schools.
