Alisher Qodirov, the leader of Uzbekistan's National Revival Party, announced plans for new legislation prohibiting LGBTQ+ content, linking his statement to a stance against 'inappropriate sexual content'.
Uzbekistan's male homosexuality laws are strict; men can face up to three years in prison for same-sex acts, with no legal protections against discrimination.
Countries like Russia laid the groundwork for anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, with their infamous 2013 law sparking censorship and a violent crackdown on LGBTQ+ individuals.
The global trend towards LGBTQ+ oppression includes violent purges, like that in Chechnya, where authorities denied the existence of gay individuals in the region.
