Hungary’s new gov’t moves to undo LGBT, pro-life policies- www.lifesitenews.com

When Viktor Orbán lost the April elections in Hungary, social conservatives warned that a sea change might be coming. Péter Magyar’s new Tisza government won a massive mandate — a two-thirds parliamentary majority — and had remained strategically silent on the key culture war issues that had dominated the political debate over the previous decade.

Optimists insisted that Magyar was center-right rather than progressive. In just four months, however, the new prime minister has set to work dismantling conservative institutions — and opening the door to LGBT activists.

In June, the police both authorized and protected the Budapest “pride” parade. In March 2025, Hungarian lawmakers passed a ban on “pride” parades and public events promoting LGBT ideology by a margin of 136-27. The ban amended the Child Protection Act passed in 2021 that forbade the promotion of LGBT ideology in middle schools and on primetime TV shows and resulted in a lawsuit against Hungary from the European Union. The law itself was not repealed; it was simply ignored.

On September 12, Magyar announced that his government will revise the 2020 system, which mandated that single applicants for adoption require ministerial approval. LGBT activists had decried this system as a de facto ban on same-sex couples adopting; because same-sex “marriage” is not legal in Hungary, homosexuals could only adopt via the single-parent route. Magyar carefully stated that this decision would now be made by “child-welfare professionals.”
