Hungary’s parliament has approved a bill banning LGBTQ+ Pride events and allowing law enforcement to use facial recognition technology to identify people who violate the ban. The new law was backed by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his far-right populist party. As lawmakers voted Tuesday, opposition MPs set off rainbow-colored smoke bombs inside parliament. Amnesty International said in a statement, “The spurious justification for the passing of this law — that events and assemblies would be 'harmful to children' — is based on harmful stereotypes and deeply entrenched discrimination, homophobia and transphobia.”
