Budapest - Defiant about potential fines after police declared a ban, organisers and volunteers are working to ensure Saturday's Budapest Pride march is the largest Hungary has yet seen.
"This legal wrangling only made many feel compelled to express their solidarity," said engineering student Csanad Sebesy.
"Now it is more noble to attend," he added.
Sebesy is one of the record number of people - more than 250 - organisers said have applied to help at the parade, despite the threat of penalties.
He volunteered last year, too, but said the preparatory training this time focused more on legal issues.
