A new anti-LGBTQ+ law banning Pride events and allowing authorities to use facial recognition software to identify those attending the festivities was passed in Hungary on Tuesday, leading to a large demonstration on the streets of Budapest.

Hungary’s ruling coalition continued its crackdown on the country’s LBGTQ+ community on Monday, as members submitted a bill to parliament that would ban the popular Budapest Pride event and allow authorities to use facial recognition software to identify attendees.

A new law pushed through parliament bans pride events, the latest in a series of steps that removes rights for LGBTQ+ people. Opposition lawmakers set off smoke bombs in the chamber to protest the move.

St. Patrick's Day festivities​ were in full swing Monday as people gathered in Wilmington, Delaware, to celebrate Irish heritage, history and community.

President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson kicked off the Irish celebrations last week by welcoming ​Taoiseach Micheál Martin to the White House.
