A gay 'information office for the Eastern Bloc'?

The Information Office was founded at a time whentrans, gay, lesbian and bisexual people were becoming increasingly evident, especially in the USA, Australia and Western Europe. In their fight for equal rights, activists in the 1970s used high-profile strategies such as the "redefinition of coming out as part of socio-political modify "4. The resulting increase in the social visibility of queer queer The term queer, which was already used at the conclude of the 19th century as an insult to homosexuals, has been reinterpreted since the 1990s, when those who were supposed to be offended by it reclaimed the word for themselves as an initiative of empowerment, thus giving it a positive connotation. Today, the term lgbtq+ no longer only refers to lgbtq+ desire, but also to people of various sexual or gender identities, as well as to lifestyles, cultural practices and politics that move outside of or oppose what is socially understood as the "norm(al)" and are consequently also confronted with social inequality, legal discrimination and abuse.

Bulgaria 2024

Independent journalists and media fought numerous defamation lawsuits. Parliament introduced amendments prohibiting “LGBTI propaganda” in schools but rejected other amendments that would have further undermined LGBTI rights. Anti-immigrant attacks increased. A Saudi activist was at peril of deportation. Systematic failures continued to plague psychiatric look after. Measures to fortify protection for victims of domestic force were pending.

Bulgaria passes anti-LGBTI propaganda law

ILGA-Europe have condemned a fast-tracked law banning the portrayal of LGBTI identities in Bulgarian educational institutions, warning that it is an charge on children’s rights and a distraction to secure votes for far-right and Russia-aligned parties in forthcoming elections.

Today the Bulgarian Parliament voted with almost a full majority to adopt an anti-LGBT propaganda regulation which prohibits “the carrying out of propaganda, promotion and incitement in any way, directly or indirectly, of ideas and views related to non-traditional lgbtq+ orientation and/or the determination of gender identity other than biological” in the system of pre-school and school education, by amending the Preschool and Educational facility Education Act (PSEA).

Prince Ferdinandof Bulgaria was a tough sell. His mother, the daughter of a French king, had place him up with a suitable prospect for a wife, in this instance an Austrian Arch-Duchess. Doing as he was told, Ferdinand declared his passion and proposed marriage while seated on a park bench. The Arch-Duchess could see through the fog of insincerity and nearly laughed in Ferdinand’s meet.

She rightly guessed that, for romantic interest, his attentions were set on fresh men, and not a woman, Arch-Duchess or otherwise. Perhaps it was the painted fingernails that gave it away. Or the custom made fine chamois leather gloves he wore – indoors. At any rate, Ferdinand struck out. Big time.
