The bill, presented on Monday, is almost certain to pass as the coalition has a two-thirds majority in parliament. It would make it an offence to hold or attend events that violate Hungary\u2019s contentious \u201cchild protection\u201d legislation, which prohibits the \u201cdepiction or promotion\u201d of homosexuality to under-18s.<\/p>\n<p>Attending a prohibited event would carry fines of up to 200,000 Hungarian forints (\u00a3420), which the state would forward to \u201cchild protection\u201d. Pride organisers have called the prime minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n\u2019s drive to ban the event a restriction of fundamental freedoms of speech and assembly. The proposal is the latest step against LGBTQ+ people taken by the government, which has passed legislation that rights groups and other European politicians have decried as repressive.<\/p>\n<p>The government portrays itself as a champion of traditional family values and a defender of Christian civilisation from what it calls \u201cgender madness\u201d, and says its policies are designed to protect children from \u201csexual propaganda\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Hungary\u2019s \u201cchild protection\u201d law was passed in 2021. Aside from banning the \u201cdepiction or promotion\u201d of homosexuality in content available to minors \u2013 including in television, films, advertisements and literature \u2013 it also prohibits the mention of LGBTQ+ issues in school education programmes, and forbids the public depiction of \u201cgender deviating from sex at birth\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In a speech in February, Orb\u00e1n hinted that his government would take steps to ban Budapest Pride, which attracts thousands of participants and celebrates the history of the LGBTQ+ movement while asserting the equal rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. Budapest Pride will mark its 30th anniversary this year.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2025\/mar\/17\/hungary-government-bill-ban-budapest-pride-event\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/hungarys-government-submits-bill-to-ban-budapest-pride-event\/\">Hungary\u2019s government submits bill to ban Budapest Pride event<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[18261,555,2214],"class_list":["post-138364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-budapest-pride-event","tag-csr-news-en","tag-hungary"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138364\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
