The Iraqi government is rolling out a ban on terms related to LGBTQ groups and gender ideology.

The Iraqi Communications and Media Commission (CMC) issued directives to national news outlets and social media companies banning LGBTQ-related terms such as “homosexuality” and “gender,” according to reports citing a CMC document.

Under the new guidelines, platforms would be expected to replace the word “homosexuality” with “sexual deviancy.”
