European Parliament condemned Hungary’s 2021 anti-LGBTIQ law

MEPs described the law as contrary to EU fundamental-rights commitments and called for legal action by EU institutions. Hungary’s government defended the legislation as a child-protection measure, while critics said it discriminated against LGBTQ+ people and conflated homosexuality with paedophilia.
