PROTESTERS rallied outside Bulgaria’s parliament on Thursday evening to denounce a controversial legal amendment adopted the day before that bans talk of LGBTQ+ and so-called non-traditional sexual choices in schools.

The protest was organised by feminist, LGBTQ+ and other rights groups calling for a reversal of that amendment, banning what supporters call “LGBTQ+ propaganda in schools.”

Waving the rainbow flag, the protesters chanted “Bulgaria is no Russia” and “Silence means death.”
