On October 8, 2025, Ukraine"s draft law targeting LGBT propaganda was introduced, primarily authored by members of President Volodymyr Zelensky"s party, Servant of the People. The bill aims to protect constitutional norms related to family and childhood.
The draft law cites studies that claim homosexuality can be "corrected" and suggests it is not an innate trait but rather acquired through "immoral behavior." It proposes fines for individuals and entities found in violation of its provisions.
Under the proposed legislation, penalties will be imposed for the "propaganda of pedophilia, homosexuality, and transgenderism." Fines for individuals could reach 17,000 UAH, while legal entities may face penalties exceeding 51,000 UAH. Officials could incur fines up to 85,000 UAH.
Draft law No. 6327 outlines specific actions that would incur fines, including promoting LGBT symbols, advocating for same-sex love, advertising non-constitutional marriages, and making public calls for same-sex relations.
This legislative move reflects ongoing discussions surrounding LGBT rights in Ukraine, paralleling recent developments in other countries regarding civil rights and political discourse.
