EU executive calls Hungary anti-LGBT law 'A disgrace'

[TaylorSwift 162,722]

"Homosexuality is equated with ****ography. This legislation uses the protection of children as an excuse to discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation, It is a disgrace." said Ursula von der Leyen, head of the EU's executive Commission.

The Commission can open a new legal case against Hungary at the European Court of Justice or use a new mechanism designed to protect the rule of law by freezing funding for countries that undermine democratic standards.

On Wednesday Hungary rejected a demand from the European Commission to repeal new legislation banning schools from using materials deemed to promote homosexuality.

Last month, EU leaders lambasted Hungarian Prime Minister over the legislation in a tense discussion behind closed doors. Dutch Prime Minister has told Hungary to respect EU values of tolerance or leave the European Union.

Hungarian Prime Minister has said the new law aims to protect children and does not discriminate against sexual minorities.
His chief of staff has said on Wednesday: "Brussels' efforts to have us allow LGBTQ activists into schools and nursery schools are in vain, we are not willing to do that."

As someone who lives in Hungary, the situation is terrible. 

Far-right nationalism is strong here and the government keeps evoking it
