Thousands of demonstrators have marched in Hungary’s capital to voice their opposition to government measures seen as targeting LGBT people.

Organisers of the annual Budapest Pride march predicted record crowds, and called on participants to express their opposition to recent laws passed by the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban that they say stigmatise sexual minorities.
