Viktor Orbán’s latest clampdown bans Budapest Pride – but he won’t stop us marching

Elected leaders from across Europe should join us on the streets. It is critical to democracy – in Hungary, and the EU as a whole, says Hungarian national assembly member Katalin Cseh

Pride Labrisz Piknik

Margit-sziget, Sunday, June 29 at 03:00 PM GMT+2

🏳️‍🌈 Különleges Pride esemény elé nézünk idén, nem csak a Budapest Pride 30. évfordulója, de annak kormány általi betiltása miatt is. Mi természetesen csakazértis, mindenképpen ott leszünk! ✊🏼

Tradícióhoz híven — de idén ünnepélyesen is — megtartjuk a Pride felvonulás utáni napon a Labrisz pikniket, ahova szeretettel várjuk a csajokat (és nem-bináris babe-eket)! 👩🏽‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏿

🧺 Gyertek, találkozzunk, beszélgessünk, játsszunk újra együtt június 29-én, 15h-tól a Margitszigeten!🌳

📍Helyszín: Budapest, Margitsziget (volt Holdudvar utáni első nagy rét) - a 26- os busz Parkmozi megállójától sétálj a pesti oldal és az Árpad-híd irányába, 2 perc alatt megtalálsz minket egy terebélyes fa árnyékában a rét szélén.

🏳️‍🌈 This year’s Pride is a special one — not only because it marks the 30th anniversary of Budapest Pride, but also because the government has officially banned public Pride events. Naturally, we’ll be there no matter what! ✊🏼

In line with tradition — but with added festivity this year — we’re holding the Labrisz Picnic the day after the Pride March, and we warmly welcome all the girls (and non-binary babes) to join us! 👩🏽‍❤️‍👩🏿

🧺 Come hang out, chat, and play with us again on June 29th from 3 PM on Margaret Island! 🌳

📍Location: Budapest, Margaret Island (the first big meadow after the former Holdudvar) — from the “Parkmozi” stop of bus 26, walk toward the Pest side and Árpád Bridge. You’ll find us in just 2 minutes, under a big shady tree at the edge of the meadow.

"Tens of thousands have taken part in #BudapestPride events in past years. Organisers say that they expect an even bigger turnout this year, its 30th anniversary."

#Pride in Budapest will be an important frontline of the antifascist struggle this year.

‘We won’t be deterred or scared’: Hungary’s LGBTQ+ community fights for right to march in Pride

Some want to oppose ban, others are nervous, but all see it as a warning sign under Viktor Orbán’s government

The Guardian

#BudapestPride: "Trotz des Anti-Pride-Gesetzes soll der Marsch durchgeführt werden. Viele Menschen, die sonst nicht dabei wären, haben angekündigt, 2025 dabei zu sein."

Und wer nicht nach #Budapest fahren kann (z.B. ich hab echt zu viel Angst): Bambule vor ungarischen Botschaften und Konsulaten!

Organisatoren des Budapest Pride sprechen von »Faschismus«

Ein ungarisches Gesetz verbietet Pride-Events und ermöglicht Gesichtserkennung von Teilnehmenden. Die EU-Abgeordnete Ilaria Salis nennt dies eine »Tyrannei«. Trotzdem soll der Budapest Pride Ende Juni stattfinden.

I saw children at #BudapestPride  This is so important and beautiful. In such a homophobic region there are children who know whoever they are or turn out to be, they will have community and support.
