Rainbow flag on the balcony: three men wanted to break the door
The incident happened in Budapest on July 13 at 11 am. The three men, unknown to those residing in the flat, banged and hit the door. Seeing that they cannot break the door, they tried to pick the lock and get inside.
According to telex.hu, that was the point when the police arrived, and the perpetrators fled in a van. Based on a Facebook post reporting about the events, the three men left anti-LGBTQ fliers at the door and in the staircase.
Police said that after they received the first call from those inside the rented flat (two flatmates, the girlfriend of one of them, and her 2-year-old son), they
arrived in just four minutes.
After talking with those inside, they initiated a legal procedure against unknown perpetrators because of the altercation. Currently, they are trying to find the plate number of the van the perpetrators left in, hvg.hu reported.

According to Tamás, one of the victims, who wrote the story in a Facebook post, the police officers were very professional and nice.
However,
they advised the residents to take their rainbow flag inside from the balcony for their safety.
Based on their Facebook post, they are very thankful to the police but disappointed at the same time because they are the ones who have to flinch and take the flag inside.
As we reported before, in June, PM Viktor Orbán said that non-liberal democrats [like him], see the sexual education of children as the right of the parent, and “without their consent, neither the state, nor political parties, NGOs, or
rainbow activists can play a role,”
the prime minister said. Orbán said that today, “rainbow countries have the right to move beyond the binary social arrangement based on man-woman and mother-father relations”. “They used to be like that, but deliberately and by elevating their intentions to the level of state policy, they have moved to another dimension,” he said. “Whether it is better to live in a binary or a rainbow world and why is a question on which both sides argue their own opinion. Everyone has one’s own truth,” Orbán said.
Orbán accused Brussels of abusing its power and “forcing on us what we don’t want”. “Our children and their upbringing is all about their freedom,” he said. He called the European Commission’s standpoint on the matter “shameful” and he accused it of “legal hooliganism”.

It’s funny how in ‘89 we took down all those Soviet statues and today we are closer to Russia than ever before all thanks to our very own mini Putin.
There is a sign which says For Sale on the balcony below. So, is that a condominium building with strict rules regarding what can go out on balconies….usually nothing political, religious, or unsightly or dangerous ‘stuff’. In other words a balcony is not a junk closet or an indicator of anything that puts the building or it’s residents’ into danger or upset. Apartment buildings where people rent rather than own also have rules to protect infrastructure and residents. Perhaps a superintendent should have taken care of this before there was any escalation of political feelings. WHY are people advertising their sexual practices and beliefs to the public? That is a private topic. People should have some decorum & modesty. Just live your life, stop shoving your penis or lack of up people’s noses.
Surely heroes in Orbánistan. An award awaits them from the 5xl king? Highly possible. There is no limit to shame in the private feud of the autocrat.
Seems like Europe does not understand we used to be a Communist country…. Brussels should keep it’s Cultural Marxism to itself…
Kate – valid points in your commentary.
In a society that should have Tolerance – to this LGBTQ sector – to “flaunt” try to take advantage, in this case the flag, over the balcony, does cause agitation and social un-rest.
Could consider Respect for other people when taking an action like this flag incident.
Has OUR Mario aka NotOrban gone mental?
OR has he always been?
Most likely the latter.
Super boring.
NotOrban, you are stuck in the past. Russia has nothing to do with the Soviet Union since 1989, moreover, it’s a capitalist country. On the contrary, the EU is the new Soviet Union. So stop crying about 32 years old facts and start analyzing what happens now and who is the new authoritarian UNION.
This whole LGBS is a consorted effort by a very powerful people and it will never be enough.
Years of demanding the right marry – these same people are saying marriage and family should be abolished. Well over 60% of straight people are devorced. Gays already had legal rights for partners.
Funny you never hear numbers on gay divorce.
BLM has been very successful with demands with major corperation management paying millions of dollars to it , but have done nothing for blacks.
The hourly shooting of blacks shooting blacks continues.
I guess that people in here didn’t learn nothing about humanity. Anti gay fliers? I guess 1942 is making a comeback here….
Kate.I agree such things should not be on display . That also applies to political posters, so in the run up to the general election next year, all building managers should insist that any political posters put in apartment windows be taken down, irrespective of which party they. support. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
It’s always weird when people who can’t put together a coherent sentence have such strong political opinions…
