People have the right to live the way they want, really, we are no longer in the Middle Ages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cFreedom of expression needs to be protected, and no one should be discriminated (against) on the basis of sexual orientation,\u201d European Commission Vice President Vera Jourova <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channel3000.com\/i\/eu-warns-hungary-poland-of-action-over-democratic-standards\/\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThe commission is now looking into the law and assessing if it breaches EU law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg wrote a joint declaration criticizing the latest law updates under Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban \u201cas violating the right to freedom of expression and a \u2018flagrant form of discrimination based on sexual orientation,\u2019\u201d per Reuters. Austria also said it was not right to put the LGBT items in a bill about penalties for pedophiles and the Swedish minister commented that the Hungarian law was \u201cgrotesque.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hungary\u2019s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that the legislation was only directed at pedophiles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe law protects the children in a way that it makes it an exclusive right of the parents to educate their kids regarding sexual orientation until the age of 18,\u201d he said. \u201cThis law doesn\u2019t say anything about sexual orientation of adults.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hungarian-parliament-passes-law-banning-showing-lgbt-content-to-minors\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>, lawmakers in Hungary passed a law earlier this month that would prohibit showing LGBT and transgender content to minors as part of legislation to combat pedophilia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The bill reportedly primarily centered on combatting pedophilia by increasing sentences for sex crimes committed against children. It also established a public database of sex offenders, per\u00a0<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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/06\/15\/1006662043\/hungary-lawmakers-pass-law-barring-lgbt-content-for-minors\"><span class=\"s1\">NPR<\/span><\/a>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/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\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/06\/15\/world\/europe\/hungary-child-sex-lgbtq.html\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that the additional rules added to the bill \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<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The legislation comes after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nickelodeon-ratings-crash-amid-lgbtq-push\"><span class=\"s1\">backlash has occurred<\/span><\/a> 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><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
