Budapest Pride Marches After Orbán’s Fall

Budapest Pride Marches After Orbán’s Fall

Tens of thousands of people marched in the first Budapest Pride since Viktor Orbán's nationalist government was voted out, celebrating a new era for LGBTQ+ rights in Hungary.

The parade drew huge crowds despite scorching heat, with marchers carrying rainbow and European Union flags.

The event marks a significant cultural shift in a country where LGBTQ+ rights were heavily restricted under the previous administration.

Pride parades are also set for Sunday in New York City and San Francisco.
