EU court rejects Hungary's anti-LGBTQ law

The EU's top court has determined that Hungary's law, which restricted the portrayal of LGBTQ themes to minors, is incompatible with European values and legal standards.

Brussels has hailed the decision as a definitive stand against discrimination and a protection of human rights within the union.

The ruling comes as Hungary's new leadership seeks to distance itself from the policies of Viktor Orban and move toward adopting the euro.

However, the decision is likely to further strain relations with conservative factions in Budapest who view the law as a matter of national sovereignty.
