LGBT rights

Hungary\'s right-wing government, since Fidesz\'s first landslide victory in 2010 and their subsequent successes in 2014, 2018, and 2022, has been increasingly willing to put cultural issues, particularly gender and LGBT+, at the forefront of its campaigns. Fidesz\'s framing of the issue regularly contained the need for children\'s protection rather than overt attacks on sexual and gender minorities.

The debate on LGBT rights in Poland is not a red herring. It is a question of whether gays and lesbians have the same human rights as the rest of Polish society. It\'s the question that demands an answer from liberal parties – tells Liberte! Renata Kim, a Newsweek Polska editor.
