Hungary has gone all out against homosexuality as the country unequivocally wrote in its amended constitution that ‘the mother is a woman, the father is a man,” indicating it will no longer sit on the fence on the matter which has become an ideological war around the world.

Located in Central Europe, Hungary didn’t stop at banning gay couples, it went ahead to prohibit them from adopting children.

According to the Daily Mail, Hungary’s Members of Parliament approved new measures targeting the country’s LGBTQ community Tuesday.

“Hungary defends the right of children to identify with their birth gender and ensures their upbringing based on our nation’s constitutional identity and values based on our Christian culture,” its constitution read.

The Hungarian government led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban said the laws were passed to protect children from the “new ideological processes in the West” that are against “possible ideological or biological interference.”

Following the amendment, there is now a clear definition of children’s sex as that assigned to them at birth.

It will ensures the upbringing of children in line with their sex at birth, as MPs also overwhelmingly voted in favour of a law effectively banning same-sex couple from adopting children.

The new law restricts adoption to married couples as part of the cultural conservative Prime Minister’s push for ‘traditional values’.

Exceptions to the ban will have to be approved by the minister for family affairs.

Before now, the Hungarian government has launched a massive crackdown on the LGBTQ as it banned people from legally changing their gender, raising concerns among transgender Hungarians and their apologists in Hungary.

For intance, in 2018 a government decree effectively banned universities from teaching courses on gender studies.

Recently, Hungarian leader, Orban, while commenting over controversies on children’s book containing gay characters, lashed out at the LGBTQ community, saying homosexuals should “leave our children alone.”
