Belarus Approves New Anti-LGBT Law

After overwhelming support, the Belarus’s parliament adopted a new law on 2 April 2026 banning "propaganda" of same-sex relationships, of "gender reassignment," and even of "childlessness." This furthers the legal and political alignment between Belarus and Russia, which both seek to protect children from immoral values.

"Propaganda" is clearly defined in the law as the dissemination of "appealing" information "intended to influence citizens' perceptions." Violation of the ban is an administrative offense penalized by fines of up to 20 base units (currently about US$ 310) for individuals, and up to 150 (approximately $ 2,320) for legal entities. If the information is deemed accessible to minors, sanctions include higher fines, community service, and detention.
