Hungary moves to reverse gay adoption restriction

Hungary’s government says it will change adoption rules introduced under Viktor Orbán that effectively blocked gay and lesbian couples from adopting.\n\nPrime Minister Péter Magyar announced that decisions on applications from single adopters should be made by child-welfare professionals rather than require political approval from a minister.\n\nThe 2020 rules had made adoption far harder for same-sex couples because Hungary does not allow joint adoption by unmarried couples and one partner previously had to apply as a single person.\n\nThe planned change would remove a major barrier created during the Orbán government, although Hungary still does not recognise same-sex marriage.\n\n Infogaytion LGBTQNews Hungary LGBTQRights Equality LGBTQFamilies
