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 referendum is seen as a response by Hungary's hard-line nationalist government to this criticism.
