For Dorottya Redai, a Hungarian LGBTQ activist who visits schools to help combat homophobia, Hungary s new law that bans promoting homosexuality to minors came as no surprise.
The law, which comes into force on Thursday, has been met with a chorus of criticism, with European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen labelling it a disgrace and warning of consequences if it is not rectified.
