Do you have a question about our association or lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI) people in Hungary? Ask your question, and we will contact you as soon as we can.
According to the judgment rendered by the CJEU today, the GDPR obliges Hungarian authorities to correct personal data on gender identity where it is inaccurate, i.e. in all cases where the social reality and gender identity of trans people differs from their sex at birth. The absence of a procedure for legal gender recognition does not exempt Hungary from its obligations under EU law.
The Fifteenth amendment to the "granite-solid" Fundamental Law has arrived, further oppressing transgender people in Hungary. If their daily lives weren't hard enough, with another amendment Fidesz politicians would remove protection from discrimination and harassment based on gender identity from the Equal Treatment Act.
Compared to 2019, the acceptance of the LGBTQI community in Hungary has shown a tentative increase. More and more people are aware that LGBTQI people face exclusion, with a coextensive increase in the number of people who would feel comfortable in the company of an LGBTQI person in different areas of life. More Hungarians are also in favour of young people learning about minority identities.
Leading up to the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, euobserver published an article about LGBTI rights around Europe, with a special focus on Hungary and Finland. Our input focused on problems related to education.
The German lesbian magazine L-MAG reports about the state of the Hungarian democracy in relation to the Forth Amendment to the Hungarian Fundemental Law. They also interviewed a colleague of our organisation.
