#Romania's Chamber of Deputies is currently deliberating on a dangerous anti-#LGBTQI draft bill, which would ​​prohibit the dissemination of information on sexual orientation and gender identity to minors (under 18). #IGLYOStatement [1/5]

🇷🇴 iglyo.com/romania-bill-2…

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. [2/5]

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 in schools. [3/5]

We call on the 🇪🇺 institutions to make sure #MemberStates do not actively oppose the right to #Education of LGBTQI youth by passing bills that explicitly prohibit the dissemination of affirming info on sexual orientation, gender identity & expression, & sex characteristics. [4/5]

We will keep on monitoring the situation and update you with further developments and ways to support the Romanian LGBTQI community in the face of this new attack. [5/5]
