In Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orban wanted a new constitution which defines marriage as a union "between a man and a woman".
He also banned same-sex marriage and banned gender studies at the university.
Last May, her party passed a law that prevents transgender people from having their new gender identities legally recognized.

As a result of this new law, transsexuals are leaving Hungary to settle in more liberal European countries.
