Tisza’s bill drops the 2021 homosexuality and gender clauses
Hungary’s Tisza government on Monday filed a child-protection bill that would delete the 2021 bans on depicting homosexuality or gender transition for minors. Daily News Hungary names minister Vilmos Kátai-Németh and the replacement harms list. Al Jazeera records Peter Magyar saying the rules would apply regardless of sexual orientation and align with EU regulations. Both describe the same Monday filing, not two laws.

The Budapest text names the clauses
Daily News Hungary reported that the Tisza government on Monday filed a child-protection bill that would remove references to homosexuality and transgender identity from Hungary's 2021 legislation. Social and Family Affairs Minister Vilmos Kátai-Németh tabled the text. The 2021 Fidesz-era law barred making available to under-18s content that promotes or even depicts deviation from sex registered at birth, changing sex, or homosexuality. The new text drops those references and instead bars content that is age-inappropriate, depicts sexuality gratuitously, or promotes sexual violence, exploitation, solicitation or manipulation. The paper also records rules on political advertising aimed at children. For the reader the first result is that the statute's title stays and the banned content changes. The filing is Monday; DNH ties it to the local bill's language. The EU court is absent from this paragraph; that stage sits in Al Jazeera.[1]
Magyar states an EU alignment
Al Jazeera reported that Hungary's government on Monday submitted a bill that would drop the 2021 child-protection ban on promoting homosexuality and gender transition. Prime Minister Peter Magyar said the rules would apply regardless of sexual orientation and align with EU regulations. The card points to the clauses an EU court had named. The minister named in DNH is absent from this paragraph; Al Jazeera builds the stage through the prime minister and EU alignment. For the reader the second result is that the Budapest filing is justified with a Brussels case. Magyar's sentence is the government's own account, not the full court text. Al Jazeera does not walk through that judgment clause by clause; it records an EU-standards frame. The local harms list is absent here.[2]
The same Monday filing, two stages
Both publishers describe the same Monday bill. Daily News Hungary names the minister, the 2021 clauses and the replacement harms list. Al Jazeera records Peter Magyar's line that the rules would apply regardless of sexual orientation and align with EU regulations. The shared event is the text going to parliament. What splits is who leads with the EU court and who leads with local ban language. The card does not say the bill has become law; it records the filing. For the Hungary desk the meaning is that the 2021 child-protection ban's homosexuality and gender clauses are coming out of the government text. That is the judgment and the minister's clauses sitting side by side. No single merged reason is invented.[1], [2]
