At least like 100 000 people as far as I understand!
- From the article:
  Organisers estimated that a record 200,000 people may have taken part despite mounting pressure from nationalist conservative politicians and police to stop any display of pro-LGBTQ material.
  
  Yeah I read the AP estimated 100k earlier. If it's closer to 200k that's even better
- Between 200-500k!
  Viktor Orban made the largest pride in city history, last year only 35k-ish attended year(he revoked our right to protest)
  
  Do it again at his house. Make a party of it. With piñatas.
Remember, kiddies: the first Pride was a riot!
Man i would not wanna be on that bridge. They didnt set up any buffer zones on the sides of the bridge in case of panic. If there is one then people are gonna get crushed or have to jump into the water.
- The original route would have been a different bridge, the police diverted them here because of a 30 people strong nazi counterprotest.
  The organisers turned down the music during the passing to avoid the crowd marching to the beat.
Fuck BBC for supporting Israel and for launching a paywall.
Here is a better source from my opinion: https://www.rferl.org/a/hungary-lgbqt-ban-orban-budapest/33457723.html
