Non-country Kyrgyzstan wants to be like big Papa Russia and bans 'gay propaganda'

A non-country named Kyrgyzstan is trying to impress Putin and piss off the west by imposing a much more sweeping bill that bans "gay propaganda" whatever the fuck that means: 
A Kyrgyzstan human rights group has passed a ‘gay propaganda’ bill in parliament.
The bill, similar to Russia’s own anti-gay law, will make it illegal to spread information about ‘non-traditional sexual relations’ in the former Soviet country.
This means it will be a crime for anyone to discuss anything related to LGBTI people in public spaces either through the media, or by organizing public events to discuss human rights.
Two issues: Again where the fuck is this dumb country and, Two: Again how can you prove intent with these kinds of laws?

Not only are these kinds of laws fucking horrendous and oppressive but are severely badly crafted. A seven year old Afghan boy with crayons could have drafted better legislation. If the intent is to prevent kiddies from being exposed to gay materials then the law must be narrowly tailored for that specific purpose. In other words you must prove intent. Proving intent is a very basic fundamental pillar of lawmaking that goes back to Roman Law and English common law. Without this the law can become meaningless by either being unenforceable (that is going in Russia actually) or too broad that it can affect a huge swath of the population who do not intend on braking the premise of the law (hence why Putin had to stay the Russian propaganda law during the Olympics in order to extinguish fears that the law is too broad).

If Putin and this other country were any smart (and they are not most of the times) they would have made sure that these laws actually contain strong definitions of intent, meaning that if someone actually gave gay propaganda literature (and not just a rainbow but actual materials that promote being gay) to an actual minor then the law would be much more clearer and even would have less of impact against gays. I don't know about your but I certainly never read a book or a pamphlet that tells kids how to go gay, how to give good blowjobs or how to have buttsecks, so prosecuting for such a "crime" would be a totally impossible nightmare for already incompetent Russian prosecutors and prosecutors of wannabe countries like Kyrgyzstan.
