The bill, modeled on Russia's ban on LGBTQ+ speech, included fines and jail time for people found to have spread pro-LGBTQ+ messages in the media (including education and advertising materials) or on social media. The bill bans "the use of media, literature, entertainment, and other events that promote non-traditional sexual relations and pedophilia," linking LGBTQ+ identities with child sex abuse, an old negative stereotype used to drum up support for homophobia.

The bill's passage came despite urgent calls from international rights groups - including Access Now, Civil Rights Defenders, Eurasian Coalition on Health, Rights, Gender and Sexual Diversity, Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, Human Rights Watch, International Partnership for Human Rights, and the Norwegian Helsinki Committee - for lawmakers to reject the legislation, saying it would "blatantly violate" Kazakhstan's human rights commitments.
