- Do you support children in public schools participating in classes demonstrating sexual orientations without parental consent?
- Do you support information about gender change treatments being given to children?
- Do you support media content of a sexual nature and affecting the development of children being presented to them without any restrictions?
- Do you support media content presenting gender change being presented to children?
Minister: Hungary will not let LGBTQ lobby into schools!
According to parliament’s resolution, the referendum would cost 5.5 billion forints if held simultaneously with a general election, rather than 12.6 billion if held separately.
Under an amendment to the election law proposed by the opposition and passed on November 9, referendums cannot be held 41 days before or after local, national, or European parliamentary elections. They can, however, be linked to such elections on the same day.
Máté Kocsis, the group leader of ruling Fidesz, told reporters after the vote that the aim of the referendum and the child protection law was to
give parents the exclusive right to decide how the raise their children.
He criticised the opposition for staying away from both the debate and the parliamentary vote, noting that left-wing parties had “previously launched attacks against the child protection law, both at home and in Brussels.”
President János Áder will probably declare the date of the referendum next January, he said. Answering a question, he said that the referendum could be held under parliament’s approval of an opposition initiative to coincide with the general election which is expected to take place next spring.

“child protection law”
The referendum will show that Hungarians support protection of our children.
Utter garbage. Leading questions. By using the word ‘children’ in every single question is to play on the mind of the participants. It’s word association as a psychologist will tell you; say children, one thinks nurture, protect. The government knows what the outcome will be. Do they really think we’re that stupid. The money wasted doing this nonsense would be better spent elsewhere.
The referendum is about children, Hungarian children we want to protect.
Another farse. The whole world calls that shameful law what it in fact is: anti-homosexuals discrimination law. Only brainwashed orbanists can buy the “bs” that this law is about protecting children.
Protect the children.
And there are plenty of brainwashed orbanists about.
One of the biggest issue in the US what is that there teaching schools and parents are revolting from both parties. Nothing said here even begins to explain what has been happing with a left wing Marxist agenda- it’s shocking. Many of them were voted out in the last election even though many voted for in the last national election- in just 6 months. In the US everything and everyone who didn’t vote for dems are racist and a white supremest. White European heritage makes you are a oppressor. The are obsessed with many teachers separating white children from the others. There are tons of websites dealing with the issue. It happening in the UK too. LGBS does not speak for all homosexuals who many are loving caring parents.
