"Under Orbán, LGBTQ+ rights in Hungary have been under fierce attack. In June 2021, Hungary passed an 'anti-pedophilia' law that actually targeted limiting the public discussion of LGBTQ+ lives and identities, banning media and schools from discussing LGBTQ+ identities."
"LGBTQ+ rights activist Geza Buzas-Habel noted that if Orbán lost, returning to legal conditions before Orbán's tenure would be an improvement, but expressed concern that Magyar is unwilling to communicate on LGBTQ rights."
Viktor Orbán, Hungary's prime minister, was defeated by opposition leader Péter Magyar in a significant election. Orbán's party, Fidesz, secured only 55 seats in parliament compared to Magyar's 138. Concerns remain for LGBTQ+ rights, as activists note that Magyar has not committed to improving conditions. Under Orbán, Hungary enacted laws that restricted LGBTQ+ discussions and limited adoption rights to heterosexual couples. The anti-pedophilia law passed in June 2021 was particularly criticized for targeting LGBTQ+ representation, drawing comparisons to similar legislation in Russia.
