Iraq bans media from using term ‘homosexuality’
The media regulatory body of Iraq has issued a prohibition on the usage of the term ‘homosexuality‘ instructing both media and social media entities to employ the term ‘sexual deviance‘ in its place.
This directive encompasses all media and social media establishments functioning within the country, as specified by the Iraqi Communications and Media Commission (CMC).
The use of these terms in any of their applications is now prohibited for all licensed CMC phone and internet companies. As a result, these companies are constrained from including “homosexuality” or “gender” in any of their mobile apps.
In recent times, loosely defined morality provisions within Iraq’s penal code have been utilized to single out LGBTQ+ individuals.
In the past couple of months, significant Iraqi factions have intensified their opposition to LGBT rights, frequently exemplified by the burning of rainbow flags in protests led by Shiite Muslim factions, who are expressing their disapproval of recent Koran burnings in Sweden and Denmark.
