Dragana Trifković: LGBT Propaganda and Child Protection in Europe – Challenges and Legal Solutions In some European countries, the situation has gotten out of control to the extent that children are compelled to accept the inversion of the value system as part of mandatory measures. For example, in Vienna, LGBT-promoting events are held in the first half of June. Last year, elementary schools in Vienna required parents to dress boys in girls’ dresses and girls in trousers for a week and bring them to school in this way, in order to “support” Vienna Pride Month. At the entrance to the school, instead of the Austrian flag, the Ukrainian and LGBT flags were displayed. Rainbow colors practically occupied all public space, so that residents of Vienna could not, for instance, enter the metro without pressing a button marked with a rainbow-colored heart. Even Catholic churches in Vienna were decorated with LGBT flags in support of this project. EU and Institutional Promotion of LGBT These facts indicate that LGBT propaganda in Europe has reached such proportions that it has begun to affect all categories of the population, especially children. For example, countries such as Greece and Spain have legalized same‑sex marriage and child adoption, alongside the introduction of “anti‑discrimination laws in education,” which in practice impose aggressive LGBT propaganda through the educational system. EU institutions openly promote the protection of LGBT+ persons as part of their core values, while completely rejecting the idea of the necessity of protecting children from such policies. This means they support “education and protection of persons based on sexual orientation and gender identity,” thereby imposing through the policy of “tolerance” the needs of a minority that constitutes only a few percent of the population. The EU has established numerous bodies dealing with this issue, such as ILGA‑Europe — an organization headquartered in Brussels that works on LGBT+ rights in 47 European and Central Asian countries. The European Commission (EC) — as the EU’s executive institution — has the authority to assess the compliance of national laws with the rules of the EU Treaties, including issues of non‑discrimination. For example, the EC initiated proceedings against Hungary over a law that prohibits “LGBT propaganda” to minors. The EC also adopted the LGBTIQ+ Equality Strategy 2026‑2030, which sets the goal that all persons in the Union may be “she, he, or they.” The Rights, Equality and Citizenship program provides funds that can be used for activities combating discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. On its educational platform, the EC supports materials for “LGBTIQ‑inclusive education,” such as programs aimed at making schools more inclusive for children who are LGBT+ or perceived as such. There is also the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) — a monitoring body within the Council of Europe that addresses issues of discrimination, minority rights, and similar concerns. Characteristically, all existing EU bodies dealing with human rights are focused on the rights of the LGBT community (which represents only a few percent of the population), while at the same time ignoring widespread and severe violations of children’s rights or, for example, religious rights of people, such as the persecution of canonically recognized churches (the population of believers being disproportionately larger). https://geostrategy.club/sr/dragana-trifkovic-lgbt-propaganda-and-child-protection-in-europe-challenges-and-legal-solutions/
