As a new law that prohibits sharing of LGBTQ+ content with minors comes into effect in Hungary, performers and organizers at an annual drag queen competition said they fear its impact on the country’s LGBTQ+ community

"Let's party hard while we still can," drag queen Bonnie Andrews called out to a cheering audience as she took to the stage in a black evening gown and tiara.

Contestant Katheryne Taylor said she was worried the law could embolden those intolerant of the LGBTQ+ community. Contest organiser Tamas Doka said he had tried to make sure no protesters showed up on the night, and that the venue - a converted factory in a crumbling industrial estate on the outskirts of Budapest - was partly chosen for security reasons.
