Heartbreaking news is reaching us from the eastern part of Europe. Though democracy has reached this part of Europe, it seems like change is a difficult process. Human rights are being disregarded and taken. This time it is about a law in Hungary where all LGBTIQ “propaganda” is forbidden for minors. For the first time, this caused an uproar in the western part of the EU. But what does that mean for LGBTIQ teens? How does it influence LGBTIQ people in Hungary? Is there hope?
