The Aporia · Hungary to amend anti-LGBTQ law to align with EU standards

Hungary has submitted a bill to parliament aiming to amend its controversial anti-LGBTQ laws for minors, introduced in 2021 under former Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The new legislation seeks to remove provisions that ban the promotion and display of homosexuality and gender transition to those under 18, aligning with EU standards following criticism from activists and a ruling by the European Court of Justice. Current Prime Minister Peter Magyar, who took office in April after ending Orban’s 16-year rule, stated the updated rules will apply regardless of sexual orientation and focus on protecting minors from harmful media content.

Story summary

Hungary's government submitted a bill on September 14 to parliament to amend anti-LGBTQ+ rules for minors that were implemented under former nationalist leader Viktor Orban in 2021. The existing law banned the "promotion of homosexuality" to those under 18 and was used to ban Pride marches, drawing criticism from activists and leaders across the European Union who argued it stigmatized LGBTQ people. Prime Minister Peter Magyar, who won the April election after 16 years of Orban’s rule, aims to remove references in the 2021 legislation banning the "promotion" or "display" of homosexuality and gender transition to minors. The new bill would instead focus on material that can “seriously impair a child's physical, intellectual, emotional or moral development.” This move is seen as an effort by Magyar’s government to align with EU standards after the European Court of Justice ruled in April that Hungary’s LGBTQ law violated human rights.
