Hungary's conservative laws on gender may end up before the EU's top court
(LifeSiteNews) — Hungary is on track for another clash with the European Union—and once again, the fight is over transgender ideology. In 2020, the Hungarian parliament passed a ban on changing one’s gender on identification, with the country’s Constitutional Court ruling the following year that the law does not apply retroactively, meaning that any person who applied to change their gender legally prior to May 29, 2020, were able to continue that process. Recently, however, the Constitutional Court upheld their previous ruling—and, implicitly, the ban—by rejecting a petitioner’s plea to have a 2021 application for a gender change.
The Constitutional Court cited a series of practical reasons, including the fact that someone’s sex is relevant in healthcare as well as in judicial or criminal proceedings. In response, the Hungarian LGBT group Háttér Society plans to subvert Hungarian sovereignty entirely by taking the case up to the European Court of Human Rights to take advantage of “an emerging norm across Europe to eliminate barriers to legal gender recognition, not create them as Hungary has.” According to the Háttér Society’s legal director Eszter Polgári: “The Hungarian government’s practice sanctioned by the Constitutional Court is one of total disenfranchisement.”
The Háttér Society believes that precedents such as a 2002 case in which the European Court of Human Rights found that refusing to change ID documents in the U.K. could be “discrimination and violate the right to privacy” as well as a 2003 German case supporting “the applicant’s freedom to define herself as a female person” was “one of the most basic essentials of self-determination” will buttress Hungarian precedents such as a 2018 Constitutional Court ruling permitting transgender people to identify how they choose. The LGBT group hopes that the E.U...........

Hungary is getting ridiculous. How can they be against free castrations and hysterectomies for kids? Sarcasm, but not really. The West has gone insane.
Transgenderism, at its core, is a rejection of God, and his perfection in determining one’s gender at birth.
Uh, more like the “E yeeeeew” is headed on a collision course with right thinking people. Hey “E yeeeew-—phu cough!
I am certain the US deep state and EU are plotting against orban. Some things that have happened since last year’s election
USA sends a “married” gay Ambassador (with Children!) to Budapest - in your face, Hungary!
USAID sent Samantha Power to dole out $300 million to “alternative media” in Hungary
Various well-known NGOs have begun declaring Hungary a “human rights violater”
The EU Parliament has issued a report saying: “Hungary is no longer a Democracy.”
In the moral cesspit of Europe, only Hungary hasn’t surrendered yet to GloboHomo & Satan.
G-d bless the Hungarian people for their morality and courage.
Exactly, and that’s one of the completely valid reasons that Putin doesn’t want the western leftist insane asylum right up against his border in Ukraine. For all of the evil things he’s done, he has been right about trying to keep “woke” garbage from infecting Russian culture.
The “don’t run on social issues” RINOs won’t understand this, but the type of vile corrupting evil that “wokeness” represents is all by itself worth going to war over. As we are seeing here in the U.S., once it gains a foothold it is only a matter of time before the nation it infects completely collapses.
Samantha Power is there to do for Hungary what she did for Libya.
“Hungary is getting ridiculous. How can they be against free castrations and hysterectomies for kids? Sarcasm, but not really. The West has gone insane.”
No, Hungary is a lot lie Russia, sticking to old TROPES like people who are born a guy should stay a guy. Hopefully the ‘enlightened’ West is able to overthrow that government, and that of Russia, so that little kids will get their twangs and boobs cut off, as they do in the ‘enlightened’ West. It’s HORRIBLE to even think how backward and barbaric Hungary and Russia are in this area.
Have other visigrad countries surrendered? Have the Baltics surrendered? Have the Balkans surrendered?
Seems like they should be renamed to The Mad Háttér Society.
The more banal and pathetic the issue the more bitter the fight.
The Baltics are ours now. The damned Serbs on the other hand may have to be bombed back into oblivion, and just in time too. We need another dog wag.
Gid determines one’s sex at conception.
Transgenderism, hokosexuality, and vaccines are part of a multiprong strategy to depopulate the planet to save the erf. The problem is there will be groups that fill in the void that will breed and breed and don’t give a $&$@ about the erf
Stay STRONG and CHRISTIAN, Hungary!! Wish I could move there!!
