US EditionHungary Passes Constitutional Changes Targeting LGBTQ Community
- On June 6, Prime Minister Viktor Orban issued a government decree banning LGBTQ-related symbols on official government buildings just hours ahead of the opening of Budapest Pride’s 30th edition.
- This decree follows legal changes by Orban’s ruling party aimed at banning Pride parades and curbing what they call 'child protection' against LGBTQ propaganda.
- The decree applies only to government and central bank buildings, excludes municipal sites, and coincides with ongoing legal disputes over Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ laws in the EU.
- Orban denounced an EU advocate general’s recommendation to declare Hungary in breach of EU law as 'shameful' on social media, emphasizing national sovereignty.
- Despite the ban and legal uncertainty, Pride organizers plan to proceed with the parade scheduled for June 28, while Budapest’s liberal mayor continues to support LGBTQ visibility.
