"The Court of Justice of the European Union found Hungary had breached Article 2 of the EU Treaty, as well as EU internal market rules and EU data protection laws."
"The court also said the legislation 'stigmatises and marginalises' LGBTQ+ people, rejecting the child-protection justification and associating LGBTQ+ individuals with paedophilia."
"Eszter Polgári of the Háttér Society called it 'a milestone for protecting human rights in the European Union' and 'a historic victory for LGBTQI people in Hungary'."

Following a recent election defeat, Hungary's new government is under pressure to repeal these laws, with rights groups celebrating the ruling as a significant victory for LGBTQI rights.
