March: lesbians will occupy Budapest this Saturday

The 3rd European Lesbian Conference is taking place between 29 September and 1 October in Budapest. The partakers will organize a march tomorrow in the capital from the Erzsébet square to the Fővám square. Before, they organized similar events in Vienna and Kyiv.

The conference of the EuroCentralAsian Lesbian Community was organized before in Vienna and Kyiv. Their motto is “One lesbian – blessing, 100 lesbians – revolution”.

The community said they organized this year’s gathering in Budapest because the Hungarian government introduced multiple discriminative legal acts against the LGBTQ community. Therefore, they would like to support their Hungarian and Polish activists. They highlighted, for example, the scandal around the ‘Meseország mindenkié’ book provoking outcries in Hungary because it had tales about same-sex couples. One of the deputy leaders of the Hungarian radical party, Mi Hazánk, even shredded a copy of the book.

They would also like to show their respect for Labrisz, the Hungarian lesbian association, one of Europe’s oldest.
