Its passage will allow government authorities to harass and prosecute same-sex couples just for raising families.

Critics have called the law “a shameful piece of homophobic legislation directly copy-pasted from the playbooks of Vladimir Putin.”

The bill’s anti-LGBTQ+ author said he hopes it’ll encourage straight couples to “be fruitful and multiply.” Yeesh.

David Pressman arrived in Budapest two months ago with his husband and their two children and made a point of sharing the event on social.

“Hungary shall protect the institution of marriage as a union of one man and one woman…. And leave our kids alone.”

The Hungarian prime minister has created the model for authoritarianism that American conservatives long to copy.

Donald Trump and Viktor Orban have long found common ground around their shared opposition to the LGBTQ community.

The trail behind Ghana’s “death to gays” bill leads back to American evangelical groups that have been shoveling cash to Republican politicians while writing draconian bills for African countries.

“This law puts homosexuality and gender reassignment on a par with pornography,” said one European official who opposes the law.

He also said that if were younger, he would organize a “protest of heterosexuals” in response to Prague Pride.

The law could even ban the rainbow flag from TV.

Prominent activist Rémy Bonny reviews how LGBTQ rights suffered setbacks all across Europe. He asks the world: “join forces in defense” of us.

She says the U.S. is losing influence abroad “because we now refuse to help countries who don’t celebrate sexual deviancy.”

Many transgender and intersex people are living in limbo since their rights have been stripped away. Some are contemplating suicide, while others are considering leaving the country.

Hungary will only recognize “biological sex” assigned at birth on official documents, putting transgender people at risk.

“This move does not only intentionally silence the trans community – it seeks to erase it and deny its existence.”

Hungarian leaders and media are allegedly so ‘fed up’ with LGBTQ people, they’re avoiding one of Europe’s largest events in spite of them.

The American religious right loves Hungary’s “soft fascist” dictator – maybe even more than they worship Trump.
