PatrickMonster 6,955 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hungary writes 'the mother is a woman, the father is a man' into its constitution as it bans gay couples from adopting children Hungary has written 'the mother is a woman, the father is a man' into its constitution as the country brings in a ban on gay couples adopting children. The country's MPs approved new measures targeting the country's beleaguered LGBTQ community yesterday. Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government explained the change by saying 'new ideological processes in the West' made it necessary to 'protect children against possible ideological or biological interference'. The amendment defines children's sex as that assigned to them at birth and 'ensures the upbringing of children according to... [Hungary's] Christian culture'. MPs loyal to the nationalist Prime Minister also overwhelmingly voted in favour of a law effectively banning same-sex couple from adopting. It comes just weeks after Hungarian anti-LGBT MEP Jozsef Szajer resigned after he was caught climbing out of a window naked when police raided an illegal gay sex party in the rue des Pierres in Brussels, Belgium. Apart from brief statements condemning Szajer's actions, the government and the pro-Orban press have largely ignored the embarrassing scandal and continued espousing their culturally conservative messages. Exceptions to the gay adoption ban will have to be approved by the minister for family affairs. The government has sharpened its anti-LGBTQ rhetoric in recent months, with Orban commenting in October that homosexuals should 'leave our children alone' when discussing a row over a children's book containing gay characters. In May a ban on legally changing one's gender came into force, with rights groups warning this would expose transgender Hungarians to discrimination. In 2018 a government decree effectively banned universities from teaching courses on gender studies. Government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs said that the constitution 'now protects families and children in a unique way, even in Europe', adding it would ensure children's 'undisturbed development'. Hungary director of Amnesty International David Vig said that 'these discriminatory, homophobic and transphobic new laws are just the latest attack on LGBTQ people by Hungarian authorities'. 'This is a dark day for Hungary's LGBTQ community and a dark day for human rights,' Vig said in a statement issued with the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA) and the TGEU trans rights organisation. LGBTQ rights activist Philip Baldwin said: 'I am horrified that Victor Orban has sought to ban LGBTQ couples from adopting. 'This is another shocking and regressive step from a regime which has little respect for LGBTQ people, following on from deeply transphobic legislation earlier this year. 'It demonstrates that when one group within the LGBTQ community is undermined, it is not long before all our rights are questioned. 'It is no coincidence that these changes are taking place as the world is distracted by coronavirus and protests are prohibited. 'It is now more important than ever that the international community stands up for LGBTQ rights and sends a clear signal to the Hungarian government that homophobia, biphobia and transphobia will not be tolerated.' The constitution adopted after Orban came to power had already defined marriage as being exclusively between a man and a woman. On Monday, Minister for Families Katalin Novak sparked an outcry with a video message on her Facebook page in which she said women should not always try to compete with men professionally.' Don't think that at every moment or our lives we have to all compare ourselves and have the same job, the same salary as the other,' Novak said in her remarks, which were criticised by feminist activists. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9059211/Hungary-writes-mother-woman-father-man-constitution.html?ito=social-facebook&fbclid=IwAR20OU5MGazjqsIssp_rQX8DRK0MN9eqE0Vw6q8BACLbmOJYV3Y8M5kLS-g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Do they think this will prevent "converting" children gay as if it's something if you see you learn and imitate? What about the Hungarian gay kids raised by straight parents? Clearly their straight parents didn't expose them to enough heterosexuality... These stupid religious views of gay people should have 0 impact on how other people choose to live their lives...these people are probably closeted themselves for caring so much...

WOW, thanks for the empathy you are showing to the struggle of LGBTQ+ people in hungary and to all the people suffering from a corrupt sociopathic leader. Because thats how a union should solve a problem, toss the country out and the people who are struggling in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they're doing this after such a blatant example of hypocrisy was exposed. Anyway, can't wait for these so-called "leaders" to be on the wrong side of history years from now. My thoughts are with the Hungarians who have to live through this at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
f r i c z k o 39 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 The situation in Hungary is terrible, I lived there most of my life and immigrated to the UK last year. There is propaganda everywhere, the leading party is pushing super conservative anti lgbt laws while stealing EU money and washing it, making it into their own possession. The healthcare system has been destroyed, barely have any doctors staying in the country. They are changing the people who run cultural institutes into incompetent zealots. They are preaching water and drinking wine. Few weeks ago the man from the leading party, Zsolt Szajer who is responsible for most of these anti lgbt rethorics has been busted participating in a gay orgy in Brussels by the police. These people should be sent to jail. The amount of corruption they have done to the country and struggle they have cause to the people by making the living condition barely managable to have a good life is unforgivable.

These people think nothing what they preach, they wanna control everything and make people hate eachother while they are stealing money. They purposely blur the line between homosexuality and peadophilia in media. Meanwhile one of their representative in Peru has been busted possessing 16+ ****ographic content of underaged children. He had to pay a fine around 400£ and nothing had real consequences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebeldeFaith 5,759 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 A very dark moment indeed, not only for the LGBTQ+ community, but also for all the kids that could be adopted into a new family but will never have the chance. My feeling are with both of them right now. Can I vanish into a cheeseburger pizza? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
