Hungarian Parliament voted the discriminative “homophobic law”
On the last day of the Hungarian Parliament’s Spring session, representatives have voted to accept four bills. One of them seriously discriminates against LGBTQ communities.
Hungary has been the scene of several rather hostile discussions in the past months, mainly concerning two issues. One of them is the building of a brand new campus in Budapest for China’s Fudan University. Massive demonstrations were held against the investment, that according to the Hungarian opposition and many Hungarians, would further increase the influence of China over Hungary. Budapest’s mayor, Gergely Karácsony, even came up with a plan to
rename streets around the future university as a protest against the Far-Eastern country.
When it comes to fundamental human rights, however,
the acceptance of the law package that would technically put homosexuals and paedophiles on the same level in front of the law is a more serious issue.
Yesterday,
in vain, as we know now.
We can all agree that paedophiles and sexual offenders need to be sentenced and punished for their crimes on a reasonable level. However, this decision is more than an anti-paedophile package of bills.
The new law will regulate gender reassignment and the display of homosexuality, and as a result, it confuses paedophilia with sexual and gender identity.
The new bill will practically silence biological processes together with mental and physical differences on the basis of “protecting our children”. Advertisements containing these elements would be banned for youngsters under the age of 18, writes hvg.hu.
Instead of raising awareness, compassion and acceptance in our children, the absolute opposite will happen. They will grow up not only thinking that someone whose sexual preference differs from their own is something not normal, but they will directly discriminate and hate those who feel they love differently in order to have a healthy and full life.
Furthermore, as a side effect of the bill package, the display of homosexuality in the media, let it be a series, a movie, a TV programme or a simple advertisement, will be greatly limited. As hvg.hu quoted the official announcement of the TV channel RTL Klub Hungary, the decision results in the reconsideration of many movies in terms of the age-based rating system. In practice, this means that
movies such as Bridget Jones’s Diaries, Billy Elliot or even some scenes of the most popular sci-fi series for teenagers of all time, Harry Potter will have to move a category and become PG: parental guidance suggested.
As a consequence, these mentioned pieces can only be aired late in the evening or at night.
“Those people whose sexual identity differs from the majority will only be able to be seen on screen with such conditions and at such a late time slot, as only characters of horror movies were presented before.” – said RTL KLUB Hungary.

Good news for decency and morality here in Hungary.
There has never been a more just action than the passing of this law.
Wait ’till you have children you also may think of a better heading for your article.
No-one has a particular issue regarding homosexuality.
It is definitely not for “public consumption”.
Do what you like in your bedroom but DO NOT brainwash our children.
Look at the animal kingdom male and female are there to reproduce, for the survival of the species.
The same applies to humans.
Do you realise – just because you can think, make decisions, often the wrong-ones- your sole purpose on this planet is to reproduce.
This is not what I say, this is the law of NATURE.
The clear reasoning behind such law, on the contrary is to stop the usage of postmodernism in the educational system, I personally found that there are things beyond the rainbow, the absolute fact of the existence of people with different sexual preferences in comparison to the norm, is not within it self a sign, that the individual norm of those individuals should be a day to day reality of the public, we should be warry with the social norms that we accept, homosexuality within it is a normal thing, but its a private matter of the individual, not of the public, and for as long as the person, in age, have taken it for his own, its normal, but making it the norm of the educational system is irresponsible.
These new laws look pretty good to me. What’s all the fuss about? Clamping down on paedophiles is necessary in a healthy society, as they do great harm to the young. Why are the gay lobby upset? They are only a couple of percent of the population, but you would think they are the majority given the amount of noise they make and their high visibility. They are always trying to get access to kids with their propaganda, claiming their lifestyle is “normal”. How is it “normal” when 90%+ of the population aren’t gay? I once read that in the USA, gay men had higher incomes and more education than straight men. Certainly not “victims” in society as far as I can see.
I remember the Hungarian revolt of 1956. Hungarians election of this government proves the problem wasn’t the Soviet Union and Krushchev. It was the Hungarian people themselves.
Magyarorszag is a country that protects and cherishes its families, culture, people, Christian heritage, faith and freedom! Hungary does not persecute homosexuals but it also does not celebrate so called “gay pride” which is a misnomer. Hungary protects children against homosexual pernicious propaganda. The perpetuation of homosexualism is designed to promote sin , confusion and dissolution. It is a tactic used by the mendacious Marxist globalist money lending money worshipping usurers/ So lets get something straight, pun intended. Sodomy and homosexuality is nothing to be celebrated. It is a sin like fornication and adultery. We are all sinners but we do not celebrate sin. We should repent and ask forgiveness through Jesus Christ. Nobody cares about your sexual orientation as that is your private business and it should remain so. Dont push your so called “Pride” on me for I will rebuke you but I will still love and pray for you. God Bless the Hungarians!
Why stop at criminalising and denouncing gay people? Hitler didn’t.
