Hungary passes law banning ‘promotion’ of homosexuality to minors
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHungary’s parliament passes a law banning the “promotion” of homosexuality to minors in what critics have slammed as a crackdown on LGBTQ rights.
The law passes with 157 votes in favor and one vote against in the parliament controlled by right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party.
More than 5,000 people rallied outside the Hungarian parliament yesterday against the legislation, which is the latest in a series of measures targeting paedophilia and aimed at protecting children.
The bill effectively bans educational programs and publicity of LGBTQ groups, who have compared it to similar legislation in Russia.
