Overview

  • Hungary has officially codified a constitutional amendment banning LGBTQ+ public gatherings, including events like Budapest Pride, intensifying its anti-LGBTQ measures.
  • The amendment follows years of restrictive policies in Hungary, including bans on same-sex adoption and LGBTQ+ depictions to minors.
  • Major Hollywood productions, such as 'Dune: Part Two' and Netflix's '3 Body Problem,' continue filming in Hungary due to significant tax incentives and pre-existing investments.
  • Hollywood faces growing ethical concerns over safety and rights for LGBTQ+ employees, with potential long-term impacts on Hungary's appeal as a filming destination.
  • The new legislation includes language resembling U.S. policies under former President Trump, further highlighting international parallels in anti-LGBTQ+ actions.
