Hungary's parliament, in which Orban's right-wing Fidesz Party has a big majority, passed legislation in March that created a legal basis for police to ban LGBTQ marches, on the grounds that protecting children would supersede the right to assemble. It also lets police use facial recognition cameras to identify people who attend and impose fines.

More than 180,000 protesters took over the streets of Budapest, many saying they marched not just for LGBTQ rights but in opposition to what they see as an increasingly authoritarian government.
