New legislation outlaws sharing information seen as promoting homosexuality with under-18s
Hungary’s parliament has passed a law banning gay people from featuring in school educational materials or TV shows for under-18s, as Viktor Orbán’s ruling party intensified its campaign against LGBT rights.
The national assembly passed the legislation by 157 votes to one, after MPs in the ruling Fidesz party ignored a last-minute plea by one of Europe’s leading
Human Rights officials to abandon the plan as “an affront against the rights and identities of LGBTI persons”.
