Hungary’s right-wing government, led by Viktor Orbán, has submitted legislation to be voted on in December, which aims to ban same-sex couples from adopting children.
The legislation will mean that adoption will only be allowed for married couples, or a single person if they have permission from the Minister for Family Affairs, Katalin Novák.
If the law is approved, it would come into force in January 2021. Another piece of legislation attacking LGBTQ+ rights was also submitted to the Hungarian parliament late on Tuesday (10 November).
The proposed legislation aims for children to be raised with Christian interpretations of gender roles, prevent schools from carrying out LGBTQ+ workshops and end all recognition of trans or non-binary
