Budapest Pride organizers: This is not child protection, this is fascism
Change language:
We publish the letter from the Budapest Pride organisers without changes:
Pride is not just a protest. Pride is a movement. The Hungarian government is trying to restrict peaceful protests with a critical voice by targeting a minority. Therefore, as a movement, we will fight for the freedom of all Hungarians to protest!
Hungarians are a freedom-loving nation. We know that if the government tries to ban protests with critical voices, they will face resistance from the whole of society. That is why we need a scapegoat, a distraction, another wave of hatred. A little bedbug-ing. They lie to their voters about a child protection measure, but there is no child protection in this bill.
Just 2 days after the anniversary of the Hungarian revolution and war of independence of 1848 , many people were outraged by the hypocrisy of the government’s attempt to strip us of our hard-won freedoms. The slogan of the 1848 revolution against the Austrian Empire was “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”, defying oppression and censorship. When pride organisers and participants stand up for their own freedoms, they are standing up for the rights of all Hungarians. It is a new level of fascism when only those who support those in power are allowed to march in the streets of a country.
If the government tries to restrict the right of citizens to demonstrate peacefully by means of madeup rules, it will be that any demonstration can be banned for any fictitious reason. We will not allow future generations to grow up in such a country. We are at home, we will be here, and we will work to make Hungary a freer country.
Our Politicians do not have the stomach to go full You-Know-Who on LGBTQ, yet. Just a little trial balloon to assess the reaction of Hungarians and the European Union?

Regarding the Hungarian population … When Politicians start to curtail minority rights, give things a long, hard think. They would never marginalize another group after this one, right? And another?

All you have to do is look what happened in the US in education. The whole dept of education has been run by LGBTQ+++
and unions . Pride is one of the biggest events in many public schools from K-12 along with graphic material – many fail in english and math but fluent blow jobs for young kids. This is not everyone gay but it has ignored the LGBT insanity – its like BLM joke , majority of blacks wanted nothing to do with it but many whites a major major influence and pushed in many schools in the classroom. The US used to have the best schools that are now at the bottom.
The public behavior of some of the participants on public thoroughfares is unacceptable in a polite society.
So @mariavontheresa … When did you last attend a Gay Pride event? Reads as if you have experience. Please do share!
If “public behavior” is a measure, surely action is also required when it comes to football fans?
