Abstract

In recent years, there has been a substantial divide of opposite forces on the front of LGBT equality, with some countries moving forward on the front of diversity, inclusion and LGBT rights, and others regressing towards more conservative LGBT policies and legislation.1 In Europe, for example, the anti-LGBT stance of the Hungarian government (under Orban’s leadership) has recently received prominent attention, especially with the July 2021 Child Protection Act that makes it an offense to promote homosexuality and gender reassignment to minors (in education and the public media). This was, in effect, a legislative replica of the Russian 2013 federal Act “for the Purpose of Protecting Children from Information Advocating for a Denial of Traditional Family Values,” which again aims at restricting sexual freedom at the expense of LGBT communities.
