Bulgaria's Parliament adopted amendments to the Law for Pre-School and School Education on August 7, 2024, prohibiting propaganda, promotion, or encouragement of ideas related to non-traditional sexual orientation or gender identity different from biological sex in schools. The changes were supported by several parties, including GERB-UDF and Vazrazhdane, and opposed by some MPs from We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria.
