EU Court May Rule Against Hungary’s Anti-LGBTQ Laws

The Associated Press reports:

The advocate general for the European Union’s highest court on Thursday urged the court to rule that Hungary violated the bloc’s laws and fundamental values when it passed legislation barring the availability of LGBTQ+ content to minors under 18.

The non-binding opinion from the European Court of Justice’s Advocate General, Tamara Capeta, states that the legislative changes adopted by Hungary’s right-wing populist government violate several rights protected by the EU, “namely the prohibition of discrimination on grounds of sex and sexual orientation, the respect for private and family life, the freedom of expression and information, as well as the right to human dignity.”

Hungary’s law, adopted in 2021 by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s ruling Fidesz party, prohibited the display of content to minors that depicts homosexuality or gender change. The government has argued its policies, including a more recent law and constitutional amendment that effectively ban the popular Budapest Pride event, seek to protect children from what it calls “sexual propaganda.”

If the Court agrees, it sends a clear message: queer erasure is incompatible with EU membership.
