In August 2023, Which of the following country has banned the media from using the term “homosexuality”?

Correct Answer: B. Iraq

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 move comes after significant Iraqi factions have intensified their opposition to LGBT rights, frequently exemplified by the burning of rainbow flags in protests. This directive encompasses all media and social media establishments functioning within the country, as specified by the Iraqi Communications and Media Commission (CMC).
