The court said the law stigmatizes LGBTQ+ people and breaches EU discrimination, services and data protection rules.

- The Luxembourg-based court ruled that for the first time, one of the 27 member states breached Article 2 of the bloc's foundational treaty, also citing violations regarding free services.

- While Magyar campaigned on equality, he has remained cautious about the culture-war debate, stating that Hungarians can love whomever they want, provided they do not violate laws or harm others.
