Next Tuesday, on ๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ญ๐ต, the Court of Justice of the European Union will hold a landmark hearing on Hungary's Anti-LGBTIQ+ Law, modelled after Putin's 2013 propaganda law. Under the pretence of protecting children, the law restricts LGBTIQ+ rights by:
โขย ย Censoring inclusive sex education
โขย ย Equating LGBTIQ+ people with paedophilia
โขย ย Blocking adoption for LGBTQI+ couples
โขย ย Restricting LGBTQI+ content in media and advertising
โขย ย Restricting the selling of books with LGBTQI+ characters.

This is the EU's largest human rights court battle to date, uniting 16 Member States, the European Parliament, and the European Commission against Hungary. The Full Chamber, which adjudicates only 0.1% of cases, will decide the outcome. A ruling against Hungary could:
โ Force other EU Member States to repeal similar laws (e.g. Bulgaria, Lithuania)
โ Deter countries considering such laws (e.g. Slovakia, Romania, Italy).
โ Impact EU accession talks for countries with anti-LGBTIQ+ laws (e.g. Georgia).
