Hungary's parliament passed legislation in March banning pride events, including a popular LGBT march in Budapest that draws thousands annually.

A large majority of European Union countries are demanding that Hungary revise a new law that allows the government to ban public events by LGBTQ+ communities.

Seventeen European Union nations have urged Hungary to amend a recently enacted law that permits the government to prohibit LGBTQ+ public events, amid increasing worries about the country's democratic standards.
