The EU has threatened to sanction member state Hungary over a law due to go into effect on Thursday, which critics say discriminates against LGBT people.Hungary’s parliament approved the law last month, which would see the portrayal of homosexuality or sex reassignment banned for those under the age of 18.On Wednesday European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen threatened to launch an infringement procedure against Hungary if it did not reverse the law."If Hungary does not correct the situation, the Commission will use its powers as guardian of the treaties," she told the European Parliament.She again described the law banning the dissemination of content on homosexuality to minors as "shameful".Brussels can open an infringement.
