Lawmakers in Hungary passed a law Tuesday that would prohibit showing LGBT and transgender content to minors as part of legislation to combat pedophilia.

The ruling conservative party to which Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban belongs introduced the measure and the National Assembly passed the legislation with a 157-1 vote, as reported by NPR. “The ruling Fidesz party has a parliamentary majority, and lawmakers from the right-wing Jobbik party also endorsed the measure. One independent lawmaker voted against it,” the outlet noted.
