F1 driver Vettel also criticised Hungary’s LGBTQ law – here is what the govt replied
After Lewis Hamilton, now Sebastian Vettel shared his views.
As we wrote earlier this week, Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton posted on Instagram to express his support towards the LGBTQ community in Hungary.
“To all in this beautiful country Hungary. Ahead of the Grand Prix this weekend, I want to share my support for those affected by the government’s LGBTQ+ law. It is unacceptable, cowardly and misguiding for those in power to suggest such a law. Everyone deserves to have the freedom to be themselves, no matter who they love or how they identify. I urge the people of Hungary to vote in the upcoming referendum to protect the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, they need our support more than ever. Please show love for those around you because Love will always win. Sending you positivity,” he wrote.

Later, Judit Varga, the Minister of Justice, responded to Hamilton’s message in a Facebook post, reports Telex.
“I regret to see that today, Lewis Hamilton joined the camp of international fake news producers by attacking our child protection law. The protection of Hungarian children remains the task of Hungarian parents and not of foreign racing drivers. I myself learned the rules of the road from textbooks and not by following the media.
Let me recommend Lewis Hamilton to read the Hungarian Child Protection Act before saying nonsense. Let the cobbler stick to his last and the F1 driver to his race. Good luck with the Hungaroring race,” the politician wrote.
Most recently, Sebastian Vettel joined the people who have already expressed their views regarding the Hungarian LGBTQ law that caused international public uproar, writes the BBC.
“Everyone is free to do what they want and that is the point. We have had so many opportunities to learn in the past and I can’t understand why you are struggling to see people should be free to do what they like, love who they like.
It is along the lines of live and let live. It is not for us to make the law but just to express the support for those who are affected by it,” said Vettel.

I don’t know why Varga is calling it all fake news? Is it just because they don’t like the criticism? So she learnt via text books. We’re in the 21st century now, everything’s online with all too easy access. Lewis Hamilton stands up for what he believes in, that’s all. As do a majority of the Hungarian population.
Another – thought out and through – Response – by a Minister of our present Government in Hungary – that will add additional fuel – to the “turmoil” on-going – that the 15th June 2021 decision by Parliament created of it’s own doing in Hungary.
Hungary – we are under a Global Microscope.
We must cease from the Government down – to STOP – the damage on-going – to the brand name Hungary.
Shame on all of those who have participated in these convoluted, disgusting lies about the Hungarian child-protection law.
This in nothing but a publicity-seeking, stomach-churning pack of lies.
Shame on the media for ACTIVELY participating in this lie and shame on those who want to use it for SELF-PROMOTION.
Bravo Vettel! Well spoken.
I don’t think the government had the faintest idea of the backlash and criticism it was going to bring by creating this law, and the fact it has spread to other countries. Fortunately the majority of Hungarians aren’t as stupid as the government think, and rightly so. There will be more protests. I’d like to see another questionnaire on this subject that’s not conducted with leading questions. By the way, does anyone else know what denisf is going on about?
Your daily stories on this just shows you how powerful the forces are behind LGBS. The EU is a joke and their threats should be taken as such.
Why aren’t we hearing about the next lockdown and what it’s affect on children was and will be.
leftist scumbags – the stupid idiots puishing the new world dictatorship
bolsevic scumbags – Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel – mentally ill scumbags doing ANYTHING to keep sucking corporate $$$
they will not stop here – communist prison tortionaries were EXECTLY the smae – brianwashed idiots actually BELIEVING teh communist propaganda who killed and trortured hundreds of people.
lewis and sebastien – .. and stop pushing the 4th reich / global communist dictatorship agenda ..
spineless laves
denisf, what’s worse is that you think you can speak English…
It’s heartbreaking to see how low Hungary has sunk on the world stage, a pariah in every respect. We are the mini Russia of Europe, complete with sycophantic spokeswomen, a packed judiciary, corruption to high heaven, and a media owned part and parcel by Orban’s cronies. God, my Grandma, who survived the horrors of soviet rule, would be ashamed of what we have become.
Either people who “discuss” the child protection law of Hungary don’t know what they are talking about or more likely DELIBERATELY lying to create mischief.
Nathaniel, Hungary is NOT a brand-name, I am lost for words to describe some people’s ignorance.
What you guys are doing is shameful as your mate’s “NotOrbanEither”.
denisf, I did not make a derogatory comment regarding your statement. I totally agree with your statement. It is disheartening that people that did not read the text of the law make idiotic statements. Children should always be protected, especially from dangerous Marxist policies or brainwashed by other ideals.
Parents should guide their children’s development. Information re; different sexual orientation in Libraries an the internet. Adults’ decisions of different sexual preference is respected and there is not discrimination or persecution of LGBT members.
Other EU countries should concentrate improving the lives of their citizens, e.g. creating flood overruns, or how to rescue stranded citizens in case of floods. The EU countries demonstrated that they are totally inept to protect their citizens from flood, placing children with homosexual couples in Germany, from the crime wave of refugees/illegal migrants. It is time to let Hungarians determine their own faith.
“It is time to let Hungarians determine their own faith”
Lmao who’s been stopping us? Last time I checked you bigots go unchecked in Hungary and always have. One of you is even in charge right now
Maria I do not believe you. That was rude! At least I am trying
not orban…just a f&^kwit.
Oi, light many lamps recently?
Thank goodness that it will be REGISTERED HUNGARIAN VOTERS – not monosynaptic retards like “Nathaniel” or “Mario” (yet alone acerebral fools such as Lewis Hamilton or Sebastian Vettel) – who make the decision about Hungary’s “Child Protection Act”.
Wonder what those pooftahs and lesbos in Brussels – yet alone their idiotic political masters – will do when the VAST MAJORITY of Hungarians support the actions of Hungary’s present Government ?
Probably wet their pants and run around in circles like headless chickens …..
Did Hamilton read the law? It is obvious that Hamilton got his information from leftwing media. There is no discrimination nor should ever be any discrimination against adult members of LGBT. It is the parents’ responsibility to bring up children. Information is available on different life styles in libraries and the net. Furthermore, children under 18 are not allowed to drink, vote or even held fully responsible for crimes they commit because children’s brains do not fully develop until the twenties, therefore no life changing decisions should be made by children.
Ms. Varga was correct in censuring Hamilton.
Was Vettel not disqualified? This is sour grapes.
Dear Moderator. Quick question, how exactly did HeadlessChickens hate-filled comment get by you? It uses not one but three different slurs against three marginalized groups.
Every time we see Maria Von Theresa’s views it’s always the same bigoted comments. Blindly agreeing with anything from the government. Research shows brains aren’t actually fully developed until 30s or 40s. What do you suggest now? Is that the fault of the left too?! Scary that one can go through life so small minded and sanctimonious.
