Hungary Bans Pride, MAGA Imitates: A Global Assault on LGBTQ+ Rights
Hungary’s new law effectively bans Pride events, citing child protection concerns within its controversial existing legislation. Authorities can utilize facial recognition technology to fine or imprison participants and organizers. This action has sparked outrage from LGBTQ+ advocates and fueled concerns about similar legislation in other countries, particularly the United States, where some states have already begun restricting LGBTQ+ events and symbols. The potential for escalating repression necessitates consideration of the risks and potential responses from the LGBTQ+ community and its allies.
