Hungary has banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which essentially means Pride. Today over 500,000 people in Budapest turned up for a Pride march and told the government to: 'Fuck off!'.

@bullivant Thats awesome to see! 
I do wonder where that 500.000 is coming from. Reports I just read said the organizers said it were about 200.000

bullivant@mastodon.ie@stefan I picked it up on social media. Happy to be corrected if other estimates are lower (Hungarian government/police, etc, not included). Whatever, it was a huge number in the face of threats and intimidation by Orban's cronies and thugs.

@bullivant its atleast the number I got out of some german media one being left media while the other is state financed media. Both say its about 200.000 according to the organizers of pride.
So it should be more true than that 500.000. I mean its from the organizers so there might be some error of being a bit more rather than smaller (I think?)
Seems to be a trustworthy number
