    Banned from Existence: How Europe’s ‘Anti-LGBT Propaganda’ Laws Are Spreading

    Across Europe, governments are increasingly adopting so-called “anti-LGBTIQ+ propaganda” laws designed to silence queer voices. But where did these laws come from and can they be stopped? In this episode of Beyond Queer Politics, host Rémy Bonny speaks with Lithuania's Monika Antanaitytė, Bulgaria's Denitsa Lyubenova and Esther Martinez from our partner organization Reclaim. They unpack how these laws spread from Lithuania to Hungary and Bulgaria, why governments use them to stigmatize LGBTIQ+ communities, and what the historic EU court case against Hungary could mean for the future of queer rights in Europe.
