With mis-and disinformation actively challenging the European human rights framework on LGBT+ and ample evidence of foreign actors’ norm entrepreneurship; this study analyses the narratives that can be tied to foreign actors. Based on two methods: a standard literature review of academic and ‘grey’ literature as well as complementary analysis of entries in the EUvsDisinfo database; the study identifies four main narratives that can be attributed to or sponsored by non-European actors: a) Opposing a ‘gender ideology’ and the attack on Gods order, b) Heteroactivism and the protection of the rights the ‘natural’ family  c) LGBT+ rights as colonialism by the West d) LGBT+ rights as a threat to child safety. Mis- and disinformation narratives appear to be carried out by a variety of constellations of heterogeneous actors, where international actors cooperate with European partners. Albeit the EU’s strong protection of freedom of speech, makes it challenging to address mis- and disinformation that falls outside hate-speech legislation; the following counter measures may be worthwhile exploring: 1) harmonization of European legal frameworks, 2) scrutiny of financial flows and 3) strengthened AI and human capacity to create detections systems for mis- and disinformation across digital spaces in Europe.
