Hungarian Parliament Repeals Orbán Government's Anti-LGBTQ Law

Hungary's parliament has repealed legislation restricting the rights of the LGBTQ community that was previously enacted under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, outlets i24NEWS and German broadcaster Tagesschau reported.

According to Tagesschau, the move marks a policy shift by the country's new government following years of restrictions targeting sexual minorities. The previous measures included bans on Pride parades, restrictions on certain films, and requirements to wrap specific books in opaque black foil.

The provisions were removed from the contentious child protection law. Further details regarding the implementation timeline have not yet been released.
