[1][2] The official title of the law is "On introducing amendments to several legal acts of the Kyrgyz Republic".
It consists of amendments to the Code of Misdemeanors, the law "On measures to prevent harm to children's health, physical, intellectual, mental, spiritual and moral development in the Kyrgyz Republic", and the law "On Mass Media".
[3] The anti-LGBT propaganda bill was previously introduced in 2014 in the Kyrgyz Parliament to criminalize expressions that create "a positive attitude towards non-traditional sexual relations, using mass media or information and telecommunication networks", which was strongly criticized by national and international human rights and LGBT rights activists.
For example, Australian expert Cai Wilkinson points out that the "non-traditional sexual relations" referred to in the bill could be interpreted as non-procreative sexual relations outside marriage, which could also undermine efforts to combat HIV and promote safe sex in general.
[6] A final vote on the bill was expected to take place in 2016, but was postponed and ultimately failed to pass.
