Polish activist put an LGBT-free zone sign on the Hungarian Parliament

Police officers tried to fine Polish activist Bart Staszewski after he hung a sign on the gate of the main entrance of the Parliament on Saturday. As there was no basis for police intervention, authorities let him go after an hour.

The sign captioned “LGBT-free zone” and was a form of protest against the recent politics of the Hungarian government deemed by some as homophobic and transphobic.

Also on Saturday, the former bishop of Vác, Miklós Beer, talked about the current situation to hvg.hu.

“We need to acknowledge the condition of those who are struggling with sexual identity problems and the fact that they are not the cause of this situation. We have to accept them and help them find their place, but it bothers us when we come across the propaganda of LGBTQ mindset as if it was the ideal situation of human life,” the former bishop said.

Ha added that homosexuals were severely judged in the Old Testament; however, in the past years, there has been a change of perspective, and the church community became more accepting. However, he said that the church cannot accept to look at homosexual couples as married or accept the fact that they adopt children. He referred to heterosexual relationships as having marriage and starting a family as their goal. He also mentioned that homosexuals are welcomed with love at church.

Beer said that it is not a lucky situation when politicians make decisions with reference to the Christian faith. Christianity continuously has to reflect on the changing world and reconsider if its practices are in accordance with Christian doctrine.
