Hungary bans LGBTQ content for kids

Hungary's legislature on Tuesday approved a measure backed by members of Prime Minister Viktor Orban's party that bans the distribution of content in schools that officials believe "promote homosexuality."

The passage of the measure comes despite massive protests outside the parliament in Budapest Monday and as Hungarians are becoming deeply divided over Orban's self-proclaimed illiberal agenda.

The measure, which was added onto a bill originally intended to create an electronic database of people convicted of pedophilia, would effectively ban discussion of LGBTQ issues in Hungarian schools, according to Reuters.

The news agency noted that under the legislation, students under the age of 18 in Hungary may not be shown any content, including advertisements, that encourage homosexuality or gender transition.
