The situation of queer people in Hungary is getting worse and worse, reports Tagesspiegel. Dávid Vig, the president of Amnesty International, experiences the growing discrimination firsthand. In an interview with the newspaper, he spoke about "the effects of the Orbán government's anti-LGBTQ laws".

According to Vig, those who experience homophobic and transgender harassment are not able to access the programs, help and services that were previously available to them. She also talked about how teachers sometimes invite them over and demand that they skip LGBTQ topics.
"But we will not compromise on this issue. We can't talk to students about bullying and we can't miss one of the most important causes, queerphobia."
said the president of Amnesty. Vig doesn't really understand what the ban on depicting homosexuality and gender reassignment as set out in the law means from a legal point of view. He said that he knows at least a dozen people who left Hungary because of the deteriorating situation. According to the paper, Berlin is a haven for many queer people.
