The Hungarian government, under Prime Minister Viktor Orban, has passed a constitutional amendment that simultaneously heightens the government's power and denies familial recognition and adoption rights to same-sex couples, The New York Times reports. The measure was passed mere weeks after a prominent government official and Orban ally, Jozsef Szajer, stepped down from the European Parliament after being caught last month attending a "gay orgy," the Times notes. The new legislation also follows other anti-LGTBQ laws adopted in that nation recently. "Earlier this year, the government adopted legislation tying an individual's gender to the person's sex and chromosomes at birth — the first law of its kind in Europe and a clear attack on transgender rights," the Times recalled.
