Hungary has officially passed a law to prevent the sharing of content that is considered to ‘promote homosexuality or gender change’ with under 18s, meaning LGBTQ+ topics can no longer be discussed in school or on children’s TV. The bill was first introduced by Hungary’s Fidesz party, led by anti-LGBTQ+ prime minister Viktor Orbán, as an amendment to an anti-paedophilia law.The legislation was then passed by the country’s national assembly in a 157-1 vote, with a government spokesperson saying: “There are contents which children under a certain age can misunderstand and which may have a detrimental effect on their development.” The day before the vote saw thousands protest outside parliament, urging politicians to reject the law.
