Hungarian law equating gays with pedophiles violates EU law, CJEU rules 😔

The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that Hungary violated EU law by passing a 2021 law that discriminates against LGBTQ+ individuals under the guise of protecting children. The law conflicts with the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights and has led to infringement proceedings initiated by the European Commission. The court found that the amendments stigmatize non-cisgender persons and violate their rights, marking a significant ruling regarding EU values. If Hungary does not amend the law, further legal actions may ensue, potentially involving fines.
