Budapest celebrates Pride as protesters hit back at Hungary's rules to restrict 'homosexual propaganda' The Pride march that snaked its way through Budapest was about much more than just celebrating the city's LGBT+ community. This was a raucous blend of party and protest. The party was obvious - a blend of lots of people, plenty of noise, a sense of collective purpose and the beating sunshine. As for the protest - that was pointed at Hungary's adoption of new rules to restrict what the government refers to as "homosexual propaganda". Prime Minister Viktor Orban says he is protecting traditional family values by curtailing the portrayal of LGBT+ issues in schools and on broadcast channels.
