EU Welcomes European Court of Justice Ruling on Hungarian LGBTQ Law
The European Court of Justice has ruled that Hungary’s LGBTQ law violates the Charter of Fundamental Rights and EU treaties, prompting calls for the Hungarian government to implement the decision.
The ruling, supported by the European Commission and several member states, found that the law discriminates based on gender and sexual orientation, undermining human dignity. Enacted in 2021 under former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the law restricts representations of same-sex partnerships and transgender identities in media. Following the recent parliamentary elections, the newly elected conservative Tisza party, led by Peter Magyar, is expected to assume office in early May, with Magyar having indicated a desire to improve EU relations while largely avoiding the topic of discrimination against sexual minorities.
