One independent lawmaker voted against it,\u201d the outlet noted.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The other opposition parties reportedly didn\u2019t show up to the voting session as a form of protesting the legislation. Those who are against the bill say that it could lead to stigmatization and harassment based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The legislation sparked protests in Budapest as LGBT activists gathered with others in a failed attempt to block the bill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-85 Component-p-0-2-76\">Csaba Domotor, the Fidesz state secretary, said the goal is \u201cthe protection of children,\u201d noting the inclusion of a searchable database of convicted pedophiles as part of the updates, The Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/government-and-politics-europe-hungary-laws-business-d093db541d1ad00bd4b28bb3a22cdb1b\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-85 Component-p-0-2-76\">\u201cPedophiles won\u2019t be able to hide any more \u2013 there are similar solutions in other countries, too.

It also established a public database of sex offenders, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/06\/15\/world\/europe\/hungary-child-sex-lgbtq.html\"><span class=\"s1\">The New York Times<\/span><\/a>. However, it had amendments \u201cthat ban the representation of any sexual orientation besides heterosexual as well as gender change information in school sex education programs, or in films and advertisements aimed at anyone under 18,\u201d according to NPR.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Some reported on the passage of the legislation as an effort to boost support for the conservative party before next year\u2019s elections. The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/06\/15\/world\/europe\/hungary-child-sex-lgbtq.html\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> that the additional rules added to the bill last week \u201crequire the labeling of all content that might fall into that category of \u2018not recommended for those under 18 years of age.\u2019 Such content would be restricted for media like television to the hours between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. The restrictions extend to advertisements and even sexual education, which the law would restrict to teachers and organizations approved by the government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The legislation comes after backlash has occurred in the United States against entertainment companies such as Nickelodeon that appear to be catering to leftist ideology by creating children\u2019s programming that promotes LGBT behavior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nickelodeon-ratings-crash-amid-lgbtq-push\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> by The Daily Wire, \u201cIn the last two weeks, both Nickelodeon and its preschool-targeted network, Nick Jr., have released videos championing \u2018trans,\u2019 \u2018queer,\u2019 and \u2018pansexual\u2019 inclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It doesn\u2019t seem to be doing the network many favors, however, as its ratings appear to have been negatively affected by the recent shows.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.piratesandprincesses.net\/viacom-struggles-with-paramount-and-nickelodeon-while-disney-pulls-away\/\"><span class=\"s1\">Pirates and Princesses<\/span><\/a>, a popular entertainment site specializing in Disney-related news, reports Nickelodeon\u00a0YouTube videos were \u2018downvoted to such a degree that they\u2019ve now hidden the ratio.\u2019 The site also says the network\u00a0has seen a major decline in viewers since it began overtly pushing the LGBTQ agenda to its young viewers,\u201d The Daily Wire noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It might be difficult for any legislation to pass that is meant to protect children from specific content, however, if those who oppose such efforts continue to push the implication that virtually all LGBT content is automatically acceptable.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
