What do you see in the picture, were is it, what do you think is happening, what do you think this story is about?
The picture shows a march; a protest crossing a bridge in Hungary last weeked.
What do you think the march could have been about? How many people do you think there are? What could they be marching for?
In Hungary, the prime minister Victor Orban has banned Pride marches this year.
What is a Pride march?
Why do you think the government in Hungary has banned Pride marches?
Pride marches have been banned under a new "child protection" law restricting gatherings that are considered to be "promoting homosexuality".
What is your response to that idea?
What are the opinions on both sides of this debate?
Do you think you need protecting from Pride marches?
The Prime minister warned the people of Hungary that there would be "legal consequences" for anyone attending a Pride march.
What does that mean?
Organisers could face a year in prison and attendees could face a 500 Euro fine. Police would be using facial recognition technology to recognise and prosecute anyone attending a pride march.
What do you think the photo shows?
The photo shows a Pride march that happened in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, on Saturday afternoon. 200,000 people marched, more than ever before.
Why did they march?
Are they all LGBT+?
If they are not LGBT, why attend a Pride march?
Some attendees spoke to the BBC; Luka and her mother said they wanted a country of diversity.
What does that mean?
"We have a law that bans people who are different from others to gather. This is why we are here. Because it's hurting our rights. That's why we came."
Luca says she is worried about her 4 year old daughter's future "living in a country where she can't love anyone she wants to."
Why does that worry Luca?
Why does Luca say it's about rights?
Many MPs from around Europe also attended.
Why did people attend who weren't from Hungary?
Finnish MP Li Andersson said, "It's important to emphasise that the reason why we are here is not only Pride - this is about the fundamental human rights of all of us. It's a march that is fundamentally about equality and about equal rights for anyone - for everybody, about the right to love and live with whoever you choose. And I think that's a core value that any free and democratic society should respect."
What does this mean?
What is a free and democratic society and how is this related to being LGBT+?
Everyone on this march is breaking the law and has been told by the prime minister not to attend. Should they respect the law?
What does this photo suggest about attitudes towards LGBT+ equality?
What is the law in the UK about this? (Equality Act)
Who else is mentioned in that law?
Why is this about No Outsiders?
Which British value is this about?
