Lawmakers in Hungary approved legislation Tuesday that prohibits sharing with minors any content portraying homosexuality or sex reassignment, something supporters said would help fight pedophilia but which human rights groups denounced as anti-LGBT discrimination. Fidesz, the conservative ruling party of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, introduced the legislation, which is the latest effort to curtail the rights of gay men, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people in the European Union nation located in central Europe. Hungary's National Assembly approved the bill in a 157-1 vote. Fidesz has a parliamentary majority, and lawmakers from the right-wing Jobbik party also endorsed the measure. One independent lawmaker voted against it. Csaba Domotor, the Fidesz state secretary, described the goal as the protection of children, noting that the changes include the introduction of a searchable registry of convicted pedophiles.

Pedophiles wont be able to hide any more there are similar solutions in other countries, too. The criminal code will be even more strict. Punishments will be more severe. No one can get away with atrocities with light punishments and parole, he said. All other opposition parties boycotted the voting session in protest. Human rights groups had denounced the measure strongly, saying it was wrong to conflate LGBT people with pedophilia. They argued that the law could be used to stigmatize and harass residents because of their sexual orientations and gender identities. On this shameful day, the oppositions place is not in the parliament but on the streets, Budapest Mayor Karacsony wrote on Facebook. The legislation, presented last week by Fidesz, was on its face primarily aimed at fighting pedophilia. It included amendments that ban the representation of any sexual orientation besides heterosexual as well as sex reassignment information in school sex education programs, or in films and advertisements aimed at anyone under 18. Thousands of LGBT activists and others held a protest in Budapest on Monday in an unsuccessful effort to stop the legislation from passing.

Again, this is the kind of garbage based on the notion that being LGBT is a "choice" and should have died out by now.

---

I never understood why people think a gay person is more likely to be a pedophile than a straight person

Eastern Europe gonna Eastern Europe

I thought them decriminalizing drugs would make them chiller.

Let Austria annex Hungary again!

The fact that the people who do this almost all liken LGBT to everything sexual is incredibly telling.

---

More "LGBT = pedo" nonsense.

Normally that means "tell kids they exist."
