Hungary – Hungary have passed a latest law against
same sex couple from adopting children but only to married couple mother as a
woman and father as a man. LGBT community in Hungary are oppose to it of
course.
“Hungary’s
parliament Tuesday passed a law effectively banning adoptions for same-sex
couples. The constitutional change marked the latest in a succession of
restrictions on LGBT rights in Hungary under right-wing Prime Minister Viktor
Orban and his ruling Fidesz party. Lawmakers also approved new measures to
strengthen Orban’s power, due to come into force after Hungary’s next election
in 2023. Under the rule changes, the Hungarian constitution will allow only
married couples and single people granted special permission by the government
to adopt children. Same-sex marriage is not permitted in Hungary, although
civil unions are allowed. In the past, gay couples had been able to adopt
children by having one partner apply as a single person, but the new law puts
an end to this practice. The amendment’s architects, including Justice Minister
Judit Varga, have framed it a protection for traditional, Christian
institutions of marriage and family. The change states that “the mother is a
woman, the father is a man,” Varga wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday.”(Washington
