Quickie Link: Gays, Lesbians, Bi, Transgender People Are Discriminated Against in Hungary
By vanrozenheim
(Hungary) - Hungarian LGBT people who openly declare their sexual orientation face discrimination, a report by Patent Association concludes. Relying on case studies from the time period 2000-2007 and the analysis of the legal context to describe forms of injustice against LGBT people in Hungary, the study lists typical forms of discrimination, such as the case of a Gay couple who were asked to leave a concert, because they were kissing, or the story of a secondary school student, who was assaulted by one of his teachers because he is transsexual. The case of a bisexual woman who was harassed by a colleague following accusations that she placed a Lesbian personal advertisement and finally quit work, is also seen as typical.
