“They have completed around 60% of the consideration phase. Hopefully, the deliberation process will be finished after two more weeks of parliamentary work upon its return. The law is read and then passed on the third reading, which is simply a procedural procedure, according to George.
George, the main proponent of the proposed legislation, declared, “We think we should approve the bill before Easter at the first session of the upcoming meeting, which is scheduled to run from the 6th of February until the end of March or early April. It is something that Parliament ought to offer the country as an Easter present, in my opinion. Thus, we would make an effort to collaborate with the committee chair and speaker.”
The bill aims to criminalise the promotion or advocacy of LGBTQ+ activities, criminalise LGBTQ+ and related activities, and establish safeguards and aid protocols for children and others impacted by or accused of participating in LGBTQ+ and related activities.
