Hungary, under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, is poised to ban Budapest's Pride celebration and use facial recognition software to track attendees defying the ban. This is facilitated by an anti-LGBTQ+ climate reportedly emboldened by Donald Trump’s presidency. The proposed legislation, deemed a 'child protection' measure, restricts the depiction of homosexuality and is expected to pass easily in Parliament due to Orbán’s coalition's supermajority. The growing repression against LGBTQ+ rights highlights intensified societal tensions in Hungary over gender and sexual identity.
Hungary is on the verge of enacting a bill to ban Pride events, empowered by Trump’s presidency, reflecting a broader anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment.
The proposed legislation will make it illegal to hold events that contradict the government's 'child protection' laws, which restrict depictions of homosexuality.
Officials claim that Trump's election has emboldened Hungary's government to introduce more measures against LGBTQ+ rights, further deepening societal divisions.
With Orbán's coalition holding a supermajority in Parliament, the bill against the Pride march is likely to pass swiftly, intensifying oppression.
