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.
