Hungary will hold a referendum in April on its controversial LGBTQ law, the government announced Tuesday
The law, which effectively prohibits any discussion of LGBTQ themes in schools, was widely criticized by the opposition and civil rights activists when it was passed in June 2021. The European Union launched legal action against Hungary, a member state, over the legislation, saying that it violates the"fundamental rights of LGBTIQ people" under EU law. The referendum is seen as a response by Hungary's hard-line nationalist government to this criticism.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the law a"shame" that goes against EU values.
