Hungary passes law banning Pride events

Not surprising. Hungary is barely in the EU at this point, and Orban has been scapegoating gays for some time in his project to transform his country into an authoritarian state.

Sounds like those wanting to leave the US in protest aren't gonna wanna move to Hungary.

I think people want this for the USA too.

CPAC, for instance, is dazzled by Hungary leadership and their anti-liberty antics.

Or is it vice-versa? I dont know anymore.

I probably wouldn’t be too proud to be Hungarian either with that guy for a leader.

Good thing we don’t have anything like that here in America.

Budapest mayor charged over his calls for people to defy Hungary’s Pride ban​

Gergely Karácsony urged people to take to streets [last] June in pushback against Orbán government’s attack on rights

Prosecutors in Hungary have filed charges against the progressive mayor of Budapest, seeking to fine him months after hundreds of thousands of people heeded his call to take to the streets in defiance of the government’s ban on Pride.

The June march made headlines around the world after the ruling Fidesz party, led by the rightwing populist prime minister, Viktor Orbán, backed legislation that created a legal basis for Pride to be banned, citing a widely criticised need to protect children.

A record number of people – including Hungarians from across the country and dozens of MEPs and officials from across Europe – turned up, transforming the march into a potent symbol of pushback against Orbán and his government’s steady rollback of rights.

On Wednesday, prosecutors said Karácsony had “organised and led a public gathering despite the police ban”, adding in a statement that they were proposing “that the court impose a fine on the defendant in a summary judgment without a trial”. The statement did not detail the amount of the fine.
