Belarus moves to classify depiction of ‘non-traditional relations’ as ‘pornography’, and representatives of the LGBT community have been equated to necrophiles and bestiality.

The Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Belarus has amended the instructions regulating the distribution of erotic products.

Now in Belarus, homosexuality, polyamory, pedophilia, bestiality, necrophilia, sadism and exhibitionism, as well as “the practice of cross-dressing for the purpose of arousal and transgenderism itself” are on the same list.

In February, Belarus’ Prosecutor General Andrey Shved said that the country’s parliament was set to review a draft law punishing the promotion of “abnormal relationships, pedophilia and the voluntary refusal to have children”.

The self-proclaimed dictator Lukashenko said in March 2023 that “non-traditional trends”, including families choosing not to have children, represented an attempt to “depopulate and weaken” Belarus.

Experts have noted a tendency for russia and its belarusian satelite to copy each other’s repressive legislation in recent years.
