Despite Ban, Soros-Backed Activists Persist with Today's Pride Event in Budapest

Organizations linked to George Soros have legally challenged the ban on the pro-LGBTQI demonstration scheduled for June 1. Hungary’s highest court (Kuria), ruled in favor of the organizers, allowing them to go ahead with the rainbow-themed mini-Pride event in Budapest this afternoon. The Rainbow Mission Foundation previously announced that they would organize this year’s Budapest Pride march on June 28, in addition to pursuing legal remedies. Organizers expect it to be the largest Pride parade ever held in Hungary.
