Around 100,000 people have marched in Budapest in Hungary's largest ever LGBTQ+ Pride event in defiance of a government ban.

There's been a record turnout at Budapest's annual Pride march, in an act of defiance against the Hungarian government's attempt to ban the event.

Hungary’s Pride ban has prompted a backlash from many of the country’s partners and allies. More than 30 foreign embassies signed a joint statement this week expressing their commitment to “every person’s rights to equal treatment and nondiscrimination, freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.”
