Summary
Hungary’s parliament passed a law banning Pride events and allowing facial recognition to identify and fine attendees.
The legislation, backed by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s party, passed 136-27 and expands Hungary’s “child protection” law, which restricts LGBTQ+ content. Amnesty International condemned it as a “full-frontal attack” on LGBTQ+ rights.
Critics argue Orbán is scapegoating minorities to distract from economic issues and boost far-right support ahead of elections.
Budapest Pride organizers vowed to proceed with their march despite fines of up to 200,000 forints (£425).
Trolls do it to be “edgy”, Hungary does it because Orban sucks Putin’s microcock at every opportunity.
He fancies his chances as part of the Union of Soviet Suckers and Rubes, Putin’s redo of the grand old “Soviet Empire”. Fucking LOL.
