Hungary banned Pride marches. This is the response ✊🏳️‍🌈
@luckytran ❤️
@BroGle @luckytran I hope we have this kind of resistance (Budapest’s 100,000 marchers defying the ban on their Pride parade) when this kind of oppression comes to the U.S.
@luckytran To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, you can lock up some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't lock up all of the people all of the time.
@luckytran Oh, hey, USA! We can do BETTER!!
@luckytran Happy Pride from Oregon!
@luckytran ...you just have got to love this scene!!
@luckytran Orban is on the way out ✊
@luckytran wonderful - people power!

Please consider adding alt text for our disabled queer friends.

#ALT4you a few second video of a very large gathering of over 500,000 people marching across a bridge in Budapest. The people are packed shoulder to shoulder wearing and displaying rainbow flags and umbrellas for pride. If you look really closely you can also see some bi, gay, and lesbian flags, but there's so many people from so far away, it's hard to make them all out.

@luckytran Orban will strike back. Guess next time will look different.
@luckytran Go Hungarian people. You don't deserve that fascist prime minister

I am glad I didn't stay for that long. It was already loud!
I was happy that the march started well and even the cops protected the march. (Saw them divert car flow.)

That's good to know. I was about to ask if these people had been subjected to arrests and "riot control" measures.

@meeeeeoooaaawawawa @luckytran

There was some control: "Mi Hazánk" Our Home/Nation far-right party came to counter protest with like 18-50 people so the police and organizers diverted the flow, so 2 bridges were occupied the latter being the "Erzsébet" where pride flowed trough. No clashes happened.

200,000 people.
Two. Hundred. Thousand.
Utterly incredible.
@luckytran
if those people had broken into something like 50-60 groups of 3,000-4,000 people each, all at the same time, I have no doubt they could've straight up thrown Orban off a balcony.

Der dicke Mittelfinger mitten ins Gesicht von Viktor Orbán.
Schön, dass der zivile Ungehorsam offenbar noch möglich ist.
