The European Court of Justice has ruled that Hungary's anti-LGBTQ laws are in breach of EU values. The laws, which include a ban on public events involving the LGBTQ community, were passed with the support of Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party and have been challenged by the Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar. Magyar's party won a supermajority in the National Assembly, allowing them to reverse the legislation. The European Commission has stated that it will take up the issue with the new government once it is in place. The ruling is seen as a significant development for LGBTQ rights in Hungary, and it is now up to the Hungarian government to abide by the decision.

"You cannot equate what is totally natural - that 10% of the population loves the same sex - with egregious crime," he told the BBC.Orbán's Fidesz party was able to push through the legislation with the help of a supermajority - with control of two-thirds of parliament. Last year, it passed a further amendment that enabled a ban on public events involving the LGBTQ community such as Budapest's popular Pride march, which went ahead despite the ban, prompting prosecutors to file charges against Mayor Gergely Karácsony.The European Commission said the anti-LGBTQ law would be one of the issues it would be taking up with the new government once it was in place."It's up to the... Hungarian government to abide by the ruling and once that is done the issue is solved," said spokeswoman Paula Pinho.The man whose Tisza Party defeated Orbán on 12 April, Péter Magyar, has not said much about the laws related to Hungary's LGBTQ community. However, in his victory speech, he spelt out his vision for Hungary as a country "where no-one is stigmatised for thinking differently than the majority, or loving differently than the majority".Magyar has promised to adopt a far more pro-European approach to Hungary's relations with the EU and it will be the responsibility of his government to reverse the legislation. His Tisza Party has a two-thirds majority of 141 seats in the 199-seat National Assembly.
