Budapest City Hall flies rainbow flag for Pride Month
The City Hall of Budapest has flown the rainbow flag, joining several cities in Europe and around the world in marking Pride Month, Mayor Gergely Karácsony said on Friday.
“The flag stands against all forms of hatred and division, as its stands for a cohesive society, human dignity, freedom and love, free love,” Karácsony said on Facebook.
“Love is always stronger than hatred, and the power of community can overcome efforts to divide; Budapest is a strong city, a strong community, a city of rights, instead of a city of privileges, where everyone is free to express their opinion, their world view and identity,” Karácsony said.
“Therefore, this year as well, just like after the 2019 municipal elections and like many thousands of cities in Europe and the world, we put the rainbow flag on to the Budapest City Hall in honor and time of the Pride month” the mayor wrote on Facebook.
The action is especially relevant as the Hungarian government implemented a change in the recent anti-paedophile law, dubbed “homophobic law”. The change has caused a great deal of public unrest with demonstrations in front of the Hungarian Parliament. Since that, the topic has shifted the spotlight to Hungary worldwide, with many people making a stand against the law.

Is there any doubt left why Karacsony must not be ever allowed to be Prime Minister of Hungary? His agenda is not in line with that of most Hungarians. He supports Pedophiles and the LGBTQ agenda among many of his views. He is morally bankrupt and not fit to run anything in government.
In my opinion, a statement such as the one made by “mike hall” ( obviously the usual orbanist troll ) about Budapest Mayor supporting pedophiles should not make it through DNH filters. It is a grave accusation, lacking even the smallest piece of evidence, you DNH are allowing to be published. It is open defamation, slander.
And this troll’s comment shows precisely why the legitimacy of recent homophobic law is being severely questioned the world over. It is because the Hu regime cares below zero about having pediphiles punished, what the regime really wants is just to smuggle the shameful message: homosexuality=paedophily. This was done already in Germany and Italy back in the 1930s, so no question that if the EU accepts this shameful law, Europe will go many decades back, back to a tragic time of history.
Mario, calling someone a troll….now that is funny coming from the American Mario. Surest way to change the discussion is call your opponent a troll. Mario you do not reside in Hungary and frankly accusing someone of of being an Orbanist troll is a bit much. As a legal resident of Hungary it is in my interest to support whomever I like. As far as I know there is nothing in the current legals codes of Hungary that deny me the right to support morality and common sense. Perhaps if your leftist friends get their way in Budapest free speech may be eliminated once again but until they do so it is in the best interest of anyone with 2 remaining brain cells left to rub together to speak out against morally bankrupt politicians and those advocating against protections for the youth of this and all nations.
