BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary’s right-wing government has drafted legislation that would practically ban adoption by same-sex couples in what rights groups said was an attack on the LGBTQ community when COVID-19 meant they could not protest. Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government also proposed a constitutional amendment requiring children to be raised with a Christian interpretation of gender roles. Orban, whose nationalist Fidesz party faces elections in early 2022, faces the biggest challenge to his decade in power from the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact on Hungary.
