DescriptionIn 2013, Moldova secretly passed a law banning "propaganda of intimate relations outside of marriage and family" to minors with a fine as punishment. Although the law did not explicitly mention homosexuality, as gay marriage is not provided, it is de facto included in the law.

The law would be repealed months later.
