Protesters Demonstrate Against New Bill Threatening Budapest Pride Event

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY - MARCH 25: A demonstrator holds a banner that shows Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on a pride flag during a protest against a recent law that aims to ban LGBTQ+ Pride events on March 25, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. A new bill proposed by the ruling coalition would criminalise any event that violates the country's child protection laws, which would apply to the annual Budapest Pride event. It would also allow authorities to use facial recognition software to identify those attending. (Photo by Janos Kummer/Getty Images)
