Hungary has passed a law banning the "promotion" of homosexuality to minors. This has been criticised as a crackdown on LGBTQ rights. Hungary's parliament on Tuesday passed a law banning the "promotion" of homosexuality to minors in what critics have slammed as a crackdown on LGBTQ rights.

The law passed with 157 votes in favour and one vote against in the parliament controlled by Orban's Fidesz party.
