Senior foreign ministry officials have confirmed that Israel refused to join the United States and 37 other Western countries in criticizing the legislative moves promoted by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban against the LGBTQ+ community. In recent months, the Hungarian government has promoted legislation against the LGBTQ+ community, such as a ban on the adoption of children by same-sex couples, the imposition of restrictions on the sale or supply of educational materials and literature on the subject of the LGBTQ+ community to minors, and a ban on sex education classes in private schools. Last week, the Hungarian government fined a bookstore owner $36,000 for displaying a comic book in his store that included a same-sex love story. #Queer Up The World View
