The wedding of Hungarian transgender couple Tamara Csillag and Elvira Angyal looked just like any other, with the nervous pair dressing up and heading off to the rural Hungarian court room where their marriage would be sealed. But in the world of nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, this was special as Orban, increasingly hostile to LGBT+ people, has outlawed legal recognition of transgender identity. Ironically, that made the wedding possible, as Csillag was stuck with male documents while Angyal had already completed her transition and had the documents to prove it. “Our dream has come true. We are so happy to have received an official seal on our relationship,” Angyal said after the ceremony, holding hands with her new wife. She kissed her and said: “I love you.” “I love you back,” Csillag said. Theirs was far from a smooth journey. Both had families as men before coming out to live as women. Of seven children between them, only one, Angyal’s son Patrik, was present. “One of the biggest joys in life is to see your parents happy,” Patrik said.
