The Anti-LGBTQI Law of Hungary in Action: A Combination of State- and Self-Enforcement

On June 15, 2022, the Hungarian Parliament passed Act LXXIX of 2021 on stricter actions against pedophile offenders, and the amendment of certain laws for the protection of children (the Anti-LGBTQI or propaganda law). More than three years after its adoption, the Anti-LGBTQI law's far-reaching and devastating impact is apparent. The present report aims to give a comprehensive overview of both the state-controlled and voluntary implementation of the impugned provisions; in addition to the implementation of the Anti-LGBTQI law. The current report updates and expands on three earlier reports prepared by Háttér Society on the propaganda law.
