Hungary to amend Orban-era anti-LGBTQ+ law
The proposal would remove references to homosexuality and transgender identity and replace them with age-based rules, while also easing adoption limits for same-sex couples.
- On Monday, Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's government presented amendments to Parliament removing references to homosexuality and transgender identity from the 2021 child protection law.
- The European Court of Justice ruled in April that the former Fidesz-led government's law breached European Union regulations by treating LGBTIQ+ people as threats to society and violating their human dignity.
- Magyar said the amendments aim to unlock "half a billion euros for educational support" while replacing discriminatory bans with rules prohibiting content inappropriate for a child's development.
- The proposal also seeks to relax adoption restrictions for same-sex couples and repeal provisions used to block Pride events, while establishing an eight-day window for guardianship authorities to create action plans for hospitalized children.
- Parliament must now review the package as the Tisza government works to restore relations with NATO and the European Commission, marking a shift from the previous Fidesz-led administration's policies.
