According to open sources, the self-proclaimed "Transdniestrian Moldavian Republic" (TMR) is preparing to pass a law banning "propaganda of homosexuality."

Any public expression of support or sympathy for members of the LGBT community could be punishable by fines, arrest, or even imprisonment.

A bill banning “propaganda of homosexuality” was submitted to the TMR’s “Supreme Council” on February 12, 2024. Its authors claim that the purpose of the law is to protect “traditional family values” and “the moral health of the nation. Absurdly, they even dared to claim that the law does not violate human rights but only regulates the field of education and information.

This bill is similar to the one passed in Russia in 2013. Russia is the main ally and sponsor of “Transnistria,” an unrecognized territory occupied by Russian troops.

An important message we are trying to convey with this news story is that the war is not just about territory. Russia is systematically and consistently fighting on several fronts, one of which is ideological. And it is doing it everywhere, not only in Ukraine and Moldova but also in Europe, the United States, and other countries.

You can humbly wait for the war to end “by itself.” You can go abroad and build a new life “there.” But as long as Russia exists, it will destroy all the progress made by humanity in the last century. And the only possible way to save yourself and your loved ones is to beat the Russians, no matter how desperately it grows.
