Thousands of LGBTQ activists took to the streets despite a ban by Hungary's government | DW News

In Budapest, thousands of LGBTQ rights supporters joined the annual Pride parade, in defiance of a ban by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Activists rolled out a giant rainbow flag as they took to the streets in the march, which is being supported by Budapest's mayor, an opponent of Orban.
