The amendments, which the government says are aimed at protecting children's physical and moral development, will enable it to ban public LGBTQ+ gatherings.

Hundreds gathered outside parliament to protest against the move, which rights campaigners have labelled a "key moment in Hungary's shift toward illiberal governance".

Prime Minister Viktor Orban, whose Fidesz party voted through the bill, vowed in March that an "Easter cleanup" of his critics was coming.

The vote passed with 140 members voting for and 21 against.
