Millions of people took to the streets of cities around the world over the weekend for Pride celebrations. Tens of thousands of Hungarians braved triple-digit heat to march through Budapest on Saturday in the city's first Pride event since longtime far-right leader Viktor Orbán lost reelection in April. The demonstration came a year after Orbán's government rammed through a constitutional amendment to outlaw Pride events.
