Lawmakers in Kazakhstan are following the lead of Russian President Vladimir Putin with a bill to ban so-called "LGBTQ propaganda" in the former Soviet republic.
The lower house of Kazakhstan's parliament on Wednesday approved the measure outlawing "LGBT propaganda" online and in the media, with fines mandated for violators, and up to 10 days in jail for repeat offenders, Reuters reports.
The legislation now moves to the Kazakh senate, where it's likely to pass.
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has expressed support for the anti-LGBTQ+ bill, which, like similar laws passed in Russia, Georgia and, Hungary, has been promoted as a bulwark against "degenerate" values imported from the West.
"Children and teenagers are exposed to information online every day that can negatively impact their ideas about family, morality, and the future," Kazakh Education Minister Gani Beisembayev told lawmakers before the vote.
Deputy Irina Smirnova cited library books and cartoons featuring same-sex relationships as examples of the "propaganda" addressed by the bill.

I agree. Just watch Fox News to learn how conservatives have corrupted the ideas about family, morality, and the future.
