Euro 2020: Fans make pro-LGBT protest at Germany-Hungary football game

Spectators have carried out a rainbow-coloured protest at a Germany-Hungary Euro 2020 football match in Munich, in support of LGBT rights.

Uefa blocked the Allianz Arena from lighting up in rainbow colours, due to an anti-gay law passed in Hungary.

In protest, a spectator wearing a German shirt ran onto the pitch with a rainbow flag while the Hungarian anthem was played before the game.

Other fans also waved multi-coloured flags during the group stage match.

Hungarian MPs voted last week to ban the depiction or promotion of homosexuality to under-18s, as part of a law against paedophiles.

Germany and 13 other EU states have condemned the new law, prompting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to cancel a visit to Wednesday’s football match, according to German media.
