Digest coverage of LGBTQ+ topics in belarusian media october-december 2022

The end of 2022 in the Belarusian media was not marked by excessive escalation of the LGBTQ+ agenda. Apparently, the Russian experience of adopting homophobic laws by parliament and signing them by the so-called president was more than enough.

Of course, all the leading pro–government media in Belarus wrote about this event, and the news was even in BELTA, the state news agency.

There were no specific statements on this topic in the Belarusian propaganda media field. It can be assumed that a position is being developed.

The historian Alexander Friedman discusses this topic in more detail.

It cannot be said that the LGBTQ theme was generally bypassed by the media in Belarus. Not at all. What about the mistake of propagandists regarding the IOC decision on the participation of LGBTQ athletes. An attempt to raise a media panic about this failed.

One of the funny incidents is an attempt by the Communists to ban a non-existent Minsk gay club, put on for on Google maps.

To collect a «media puzzle» about LGBTQ+ in the Belarusian media, we advise you to have a look at our 2022 Digests.

1st quarterly digest. English.
