Hungary's parliament has passed a constitutional amendment that effectively bans public events organized by LGBTQ+ groups. This legislation has been condemned by rights activists and legal scholars who argue it criminalizes LGBTQ+ expression. Enshrined as law, it prioritizes child protection but critics assert it limits freedom of assembly. The ruling Fidesz-KDNP coalition pushed the amendment through with a two-thirds majority vote, hinting at Orban's government's increasingly authoritarian stance. The legislation includes controversial provisions affirming only male and female sexes, significantly impacting LGBTQ+ rights and potentially shielding it from EU legal challenges.
Rights activists and legal scholars state that Hungary's constitutional amendment restricts LGBTQ+ expression, reinforcing battle lines in the ongoing struggle for sexual minorities' rights.
The Hungarian amendment enshrines child protection legislation, prioritising traditional family values while effectively criminalising any public expression of LGBTQ+ identities.
