Dear International Bear Friends,On the grounds of protecting children, Hungary's government decided to restrict the right of assembly. In March 2025 the Parliament voted in favour of a bill to ban Pride. In the future, it will be forbidden in Hungary to hold rallies promoting homosexuality, and both the organisers and the participants of such an event could be fined up to 200,000 forints (EUR 500).
We all know that this is just a provocation, and getting fined for attending the Pride is just ridiculous. Let's show them, how many of us we are, and let the system be paralized by the 100.000 attendees of Budapest Pride.
We hereby ask the members of the International Bear Community to visit Budapest on June 28th, 2025, and join us for the 30th Budapest Pride! Before the parade starts, we get together for some "warm up", and after the parade everyone's welcome to join the official Pride afterparty in the largest outdoor club of Central Europe.
Planned agenda:
June 28th, 2025 (Saturday)
12:00-14:30 - Meet the Bears - warmup at one of our favourite bars
15:00-18:00 - Budapest Pride March - let's walk together for our rights
21:00-05:00 - Budapest Pride Afterparty at Budapest Park
June 29th, 2025 (Sunday)
13:00-19:00 - Bear Piknik on Margaret Island
Precise timing, location and programs are still subject to change (if many of you are in town for Friday, we could organize a night out). Let us know if you're planning to join as a group from one city, and if you need help with arranging accommodation.
If you cannot make it, but share the event with your local bears, that's also very helpful!
Warm bears hugs from Hungary,
