We’re big fans of the 2014 film Pride, which picked up the Queer Palm award at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.

20 EU countries call on Hungary to reverse its anti-LGBTQ+ law banning Pride

admin, , , ,

Twenty countries in the European Union have called on Hungary to repeal its archaic ban on Pride and other LGBTQIA+ events. Earlier this year, Hungarian lawmakers passed two pieces of legislation that further restricted the rights of the country’s LGBTQIA+ residents.
