This master thesis contains an overview of several fields of LGBTQIA+ rights, their
state and situation of the LGBTQIA+ people in the EU. It describes the discourses and
attitudes towards LGBTQIA+ rights in Hungary and Poland, using them as an
illustrative examples of conservative Member States of the EU. A theoretical and
historical context analysis explains and interprets the situation of the CEE region of the
EU, it relates its historical specifcs with the current reality of being part of EU and
draws conclusions on the emerging trends of conservative pushback against liberal
values. Finally it contains EU’s stances and competences related to LGBTQIA+ rights.
The conservative pushback against EU’s equality and anti-discrimination policies
appears to be a response to the top-down approach in imposing norms, stemming from
historical specifics.
