Hungary has passed a law banning Pride marches held by the LGBT community, sparking outrage in and out of the country. Parliament voted for the measure just a day after the bill was submitted on Monday,

Hungary's president has signed a law proposed by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling party that will ban LGBTQ+ communities from holding their annual Pride march, defying criticism by human rights organisations that it restricts freedom of assembly.

The law, supported by Orbán’s Fidesz party and their minority coalition partner the Christian Democrats, was pushed through parliament in an accelerated procedure after being submitted only a day earlier.
