LGBTQ+

June 21, 2021

Hundreds of protesters thronged the streets of Budapest, demanding the reversal of a newly adopted law that effectively bans all content about homosexuality and gender change from Hungarian school curriculum and television shows for children under the age of 18.

So, what do we know about Hungary’s new anti-LGBT+ law?

  • The latest Hungarian legislation outlaws disseminating information meant for children which is considered to promote homosexuality or gender change.

  • The law also limits who can conduct sex education classes in schools. Now, only individuals and organisations listed in an official government registry can carry out these classes.

  • The limitations placed on content is not limited to school curriculum alone. It also bans TV shows meant for children, which feature gay characters or LGBTQI+ themes.

  • The law also bans companies and organisations from running advertisements in support of the LBTQI+ community, if they are targeted at minors.
