Hungarian parliament votes to remove anti-LGBTQ content restrictions
Hungary
Hungary's parliament voted on October 13 to remove anti-LGBTQ provisions from the 2021 child-protection law. Euronews reports a 139–51 vote. ILGA-Europe says the amendments remove barriers to LGBTQ stories in media and inclusive school education, while warning that the legal-gender-recognition ban, stigmatizing constitutional provisions and separate book-distribution restrictions remain. This is a meaningful reversal of censorship targeting gender diversity, not full equality. The amendment's exact commencement and implementation require further verification.
