A New Chapter in the Hungarian Government’s Crusade Against LGBTQI People
Abstract
On 10 November 2020 – the same day the Hungarian National Assembly authorized the Government to rule by decree for 90 days in the state of danger – the Minister of Justice submitted a whole package of legislative reforms. Among them, the Ninth Amendment to the Fundamental Law of Hungary. Two proposed amendments would directly detrimentally affect the rights of the LGBTQI community, which, we argue, would make it extremely difficult to deconstruct the institutionalized trans- and homophobia which the government has been further entrenching for years.
