- The law emerged from Prime Minister Viktor Orban's conservative government aiming to protect children's gender identity at birth amid a broader anti-LGBTQ agenda.
- Critics and rights groups condemned the law as discriminatory, accusing it of conflating LGBTQ identities with pedophilia and restricting freedom of expression.
- On June 5, Advocate General Tamara Capeta expressed that the legislation breaches EU regulations governing the single market, core rights, and the Union’s foundational principles, highlighting an underlying value judgment that deems certain identities as inferior.
- The European Commission launched infringement procedures, intensifying tensions and signaling ongoing legal disputes over Hungary's LGBTQ+ legislation and rights.
