Summary/Abstract: This study explores the impact of Hungary’s 2021 child protection law on the mental health and school well-being of LGBT+ students. Preliminary findings from a 2022 questionnaire conducted by Háttér Society among youth aged 13–20 indicate high levels of verbal and physical bullying, with a significant prevalence of suicidal ideation. The absence of inclusive sexuality education and supportive school environments represents a major risk factor. Results highlight that comprehensive sex education and the visible presence of affirming school staff may serve as protective factors against minority stress among queer students.
