Hungary proposes bill to ban Pride march in Budapest

news.yahoo.com

Hungary's ruling Fidesz party has introduced a bill to parliament that would ban the Pride march, which has taken place in Budapest for 30 years. The bill includes fines for organizers and attendees. Prime Minister Viktor Orban has intensified his criticism of LGBTQ+ communities and foreign funding for media and NGOs. He argues the ban is necessary to protect children. The proposed legislation would amend assembly laws and allow police to use facial recognition to identify participants. Orban's government previously banned the "promotion of homosexuality" among minors in 2021, drawing criticism from rights groups and the EU.
