Thousands celebrate Pride in Budapest following anti-LGBT legislation
Thousands of Hungarians participated in a Pride parade Saturday in protest of the government's new anti-LGBT legislation, according to a report from Politico.
The Hungarian Parliament in June passed legislation that bans the distribution or content in schools that officials believe "promotes" homosexuality or gender transition. Students under the age of 18 may not be shown any content, including advertisements of this nature. The law was supported by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's party.
However, on Saturday around 30,000 people, including members of the Hungarian Parliament, paraded through Budapest to celebrate the country's LGBT community and challenge the new laws, which have been condemned by the European Commission.
