BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Britain, France and Germany and 30 other countries expressed support on Monday for Hungary's LGBTQ community and a Budapest Pride march on June 28, which was banned by police after the government denounced it as potentially harmful to children.
However the U.S., whose President Donald Trump shares Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's suspicion of efforts to promote diversity and transgender rights, was not a signatory of a statement by the countries' embassies backing the march.
