Thousands Join Budapest Pride March To Protest LGBT Law RFE 25 Jul 2021, 04:15 GMT+10 Thousands of people joined the annual Budapest Pride march on July 24 in a show of support for the LGBT community and to protest a Hungarian law banning the "promotion" of homosexuality or gender reassignment to minors. The new law, which came into force earlier this month, has become a target of Europe's LGBT community and their allies, putting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's conservative government again at odds with Brussels. The European Commission last week launched legal action against Budapest over the new law, saying it is discriminatory and contravenes European values of tolerance and individual freedom.
