Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban intensified his crackdown against the LGBTQ community less than a year before elections by outlawing content for children that can be deemed to “promote homosexuality.”
Parliament approved the legislation backed by Orban’s ruling Fidesz party that was originally aimed at creating an electronic database of people convicted of pedophilia. Some opposition lawmakers boycotted Tuesday’s vote while others backed it.
