Hungary's constitutional amendment: a danger to LGBTQ+ rights and freedoms.

Hungary is about to vote on a new law. Many people think this law is bad for freedom and LGBTQ+ people. The law will likely pass because the ruling party has enough votes.

The law stops LGBTQ+ groups from having public events like Pride. It also says the government can ignore LGBTQ+ people's identities. Some Hungarians could lose their citizenship if they are seen as a threat.

The law supports a rule that makes it a crime to talk about LGBTQ+ issues to kids. The government can use cameras to find people at banned events. Some people think this breaks Hungary's own laws about freedom.

The new law says kids' rights are more important than freedom of assembly. It also says that people are either male or female when they are born. This could hurt transgender and intersex people by denying who they are.

Hungary's leader is friends with Russia's leader and has made similar laws. He says these laws protect kids, but others say he is using LGBTQ+ people as a scapegoat. People are protesting the law, and some groups want the European Union to take action against Hungary.
