Hungary Rejects Gender Theory in Constitutional Amendment
17 Dec 2020
The Hungarian parliament passed a measure this week amending the national constitution to more clearly enshrine the meaning of family and gender as traditionally understood.
In direct opposition to gender theory, the amended text states that “Hungary protects children’s right to an identity conforming to their birth gender and ensures education in accordance with the values based on Hungary’s constitutional identity and Christian culture.”
The constitutional amendment Hungary’s ninth spells out the definition of family as “based on marriage and the parent-child relation. The mother is a woman, the father a man,” in what pro-family organizations are hailing as a victory for marriage in the midst of an increasingly hostile and ideologically charged environment.
The constitutional amendment reads: Hungary defends the right of children to identify with their birth gender and ensures their upbringing based on our nation s constitutional identity and values based on our Christian culture.
In passing the law, the Hungarian government also took a swipe at Western nations and liberal philosophies in general.
Politicians in the country say the measures have been brought in to counteract new ideological processes in the West and to protect children against possible ideological or biological interference .
Human rights groups across Europe have condemned the new laws. This is a dark day for Hungary s LGBTQ community and a dark day for human rights, according to David Vig, director of Amnesty Hungary.
