UEFA officials have confirmed that rainbow flags are permitted inside the stadium for the Netherlands’ last tie with the Czech Republic in Budapest

It follows Dutch media reporting that fans had been told to not bring any rainbow-coloured symbols into the arena or fan zone.

UEFA says there is no ban within the stadium and it “very much welcomes” these symbols in the fan zone. Just last week, UEFA blocked Munich’s Allianz Arena from lighting up in rainbow colours for Germany’s game with Hungary.

Hungary restricts the rights of LGBTIQ+ community

This reportedly comes in response to new laws passed in Hungary. The laws ban sharing of content seen as promoting homosexuality to under-18s.

Under the new laws, it will be prohibited to share any content, films or ads with children that ‘encourage’ either homosexuality or sex reassignment.

I'm begging you to please share these informative posts I made about Hungary violating basic human rights of the LGBT+ community.

New research shows the impact of alcohol on our gut microbiome.

Alcohol affects gut microbes, potentially leading to gut imbalance and heightened cravings.
