Thousands march for LGBTQ rights in Budapest s biggest Pride

Thousands of Hungarians marched in Budapest’s biggest Pride parade on Saturday (24 July), amid tension sparked by a series of anti-gay steps by prime minister Viktor Orbán. After an “anti-paedophilia” law was adopted by parliament last month, Orbán’s critics at home and in Brussels have accused him of conflating paedophilia with homosexuality. “Many people are dismayed at the new law and the anti-gay propaganda,” Johanna Majercsik, a spokesperson for the Budapest Pride organiser, told AFP. “They want to show their support for the LGBTQ community,” said Majercsik, adding that this year’s Pride was the biggest in its 26-year history.
