Lawmakers in Hungary approved a measure on June 15 that prohibits showing homosexual and transgender content to minors, as part of a move to target pedophilia.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s ruling Fidesz party introduced the measure before the central European nation’s National Assembly passed it on a 157–1 vote. The right-wing Jobbik party also endorsed the measure, and just one independent lawmaker voted against it, according to local Hungarian media.
