People younger than 18 have been barred from visiting this year's World Press Photo exhibition in Budapest, after Hungary's right-wing populist government determined that some of its photos violate a contentious law restricting LGBT content. A set of five photos by a Filipino photojournalist led a far-right Hungarian lawmaker to file a complaint with the country’s Culture Ministry, which found that they violate a Hungarian law which prohibits the display of LGBT content to minors. The photographs, which document a community of elderly LGBT people in the Philippines, depict some community members dressed in drag and wearing makeup.
