Bishkek - Kyrgyzstan is set to vote on a controversial bill that would make it a crime punishable by up to six months in jail to present gay relationships in a positive way in the ex-Soviet state.
The move by the predominantly Muslim Central Asian country follows an anti-gay law passed in Russia in 2013 which bans promoting gay relationships to minors.
The Kyrgyz legislation would criminalise "forming positive attitudes toward non-traditional sexual relations", a euphemism for gay relationships.
