The European Court of Justice ruled that Hungary's anti-LGBTQ laws violated European Union regulations. This ruling is considered a major victory for human rights within the bloc.

The EU's top court ruled Tuesday that anti-LGBTQ legislation in Hungary breached the bloc's rules, in a move hailed as a "landmark" victory by Brussels. The European Commission, 16 of 27 member states and the European Parliament took Hungary to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) over the law, in what has been billed as the largest human rights case in the bloc's history.
