Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz government are seen as outliers in the European Union because of their gender-phobic and homophobic ideology. The European Commission even took Budapest to court in 2022 over an anti-LGBT+ law known as the “Child Protection” act. The controversial law, which passed on 15 June 2021 also simultaneously contains a US-style registry of paedophilic sex offenders and a Russian-style ban on exposing minors to so-called LGBT+ propaganda in the context of sexual education and general representation in education, media, and advertisement. The law was widely criticised domestically and abroad for undermining equality, fundamental rights, freedom of expression, and the right to information. What is more, by blurring the lines between sexual minorities and child molesters, the bill suggests that both categories deserve similar social judgement. The new law has been subjected to further criticism for not clearly defining the focal theme of “LGBT+ propaganda”, leaving it open to subjective interpretation and enabling confusion and potential misuse.
