Protesters rally against Bulgaria’s ban on LGBTQ+ ‘propaganda’ in schools

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.

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