“Hungary Scraps Orbán-Era Anti-LGBTQ Measures Amid Rights Groups’ Calls for Broader Reforms” — what this page in the network covers. Hungarian lawmakers have voted to repeal a set of anti-LGBTQ measures introduced under former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a move celebrated by human rights advocates but seen as only a first step.

Activists in Budapest and across Europe welcomed the reversal as a significant shift in Hungary’s political climate, but they emphasized that other Orbán-era laws still curtail the rights of sexual minorities.
