Hungarian LGBTQ law violates EU fundamental rights

On 21 April 2026, the EU Court of Justice ruled that Hungary's LGBTQ law violates EU law. Reuters and other outlets said the law breaches EU rules, while Euronews, The Guardian and Der Standard wrote that it breaches core EU values and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. BBC World called the ruling unprecedented, and iROZHLAS called it a landmark verdict.

The Czech report described the law as one on child protection aimed at LGBT+ people.
