Hungary redefines 'family' in constitution, effectively banning adoption for same-sex couples
Hungarian lawmakers on Tuesday passed a measure amending the national constitution to effectively ban adoption by same-sex couples, the latest in a series of moves that have raised alarms among international LGBTQ rights advocates.
The amendment enshrines the definition of family as "based on marriage and the parent-child relation. The mother is a woman, the father a man," according to NBC News.
The European nation currently recognizes civil unions between same-sex couples and previously allowed same-sex couples to adopt if one prospective parent submitted their application as a single parent. Under the revised language, however, "the main rule is that only married couples can adopt a child, that is, a man and a woman who are married," Justice Minister Judit Varga wrote.
