#PecsPride Pride can’t be banned. 🌈✊
In Hungary, 5,000 marched in Pécs, on October 4, 2025, despite police bans, hate, and surveillance.
This attempted crackdown violates EU law – it’s time for Brussels to act.

And that violence hasn’t stopped. In just the last two weeks, three trans people have been violently killed in the country. 💔
If this law is passed, it will guarantee access to health care, education, employment, legal recognition, and above all, a dignified life for trans and non-binary people. 🏳️‍⚧️

📢 Did you know that the Comprehensive Trans Law in Colombia is also called the Sara Millerey Law?
Sara was a transgender woman who was brutally murdered in what was clearly a hate crime. Her tragic death serves as a reminder of the violence trans people face every day in the country. 🧵👇

Activists are determined to have Pécs Pride as an act of civil disobedience – because the right to peaceful assembly should never depend on politicians’ goodwill. 🏳️‍🌈✊
👉 That’s why the European Commission must act now to strike down this law. Pride cannot vanish in Hungary – or anywhere in Europe.

🚨 Another Pride is under threat in Hungary.
In the town of Pécs, Pride is set to take place on October 4. But right now, there is no protection or guaranteed safety. Organizers could face police harassment, heavy fines, and even jail time because of Hungary’s dangerous anti-LGBT+ law.

LGBT+ communities in Africa are facing a double threat:
⚠️ International aid cuts left millions without vital health and emergency support programs.

But local grassroots heroes are stepping up.
