Thousands of people attended the Budapest Pride march, defying efforts by the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban to marginalize the country’s L.G.B.T.Q. community.
This year’s Budapest Pride march had all the trappings of celebration but it was also a protest, its organizers said, against a recently passed law that critics say equates homosexuality with pedophilia and placed strict limits on sexual education, including banning the portrayal of L.G.B.T.Q. lifestyles to minors. The law is often compared to a 2013 Russian law banning “gay propaganda” that has been widely criticized by rights groups.
