Thousands of protesters rallied for the fourth week in Hungary’s capital on Tuesday, denouncing a new law passed by populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's nationalist government banning LGBTQ+ Pride events.
The legislation, fast-tracked through parliament in March, prohibits events depicting homosexuality to those under the age of 18 and has drawn comparisons to Russia’s anti-LGBTQ+ policies. It comes as Orbán's administration is increasingly accused of democratic backsliding ahead of national elections next year.
