Moldova’s LGBTQ+ Community Finds Hope Amid Persistent Homophobia

This political shift has raised expectations for greater inclusivity and anti-discrimination measures, particularly for queer individuals who have long faced societal challenges. However, despite this progress, discrimination against LGBTQ+ people continues to be a pressing issue, indicating that while political change may offer potential, systemic change remains elusive.
