The first-ever Pride in the Hungarian countryside to be held in 2021!
Due to the coronavirus pandemic that has struck the world unprepared, many programs and festivals had to be cancelled last year, and this Summer will still not be the same as it was pre-pandemic. That being said, the first Pride in Hungary outside of Budapest will finally be held this year.
According to Telex, the idea of the Pécs Pride march came into existence back in 2019 and would have been held last year. Still, due to the restrictions imposed by the government in response to the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic, no events were allowed that could attract the masses.
Thanks to the relatively large number of vaccinated people in Hungary and the low infection numbers, the Summer of 2021 could finally be somewhat similar to what it was before the pandemic.
According to Hvg, while the one month long Budapest Pride has already started with programs and will culminate in a march on July 24th, the first-ever Pride march outside of the Hungarian capital will only be held on September 18th. The organisers targeted Pécs with this special march, because the Diverse Youth Network non-governmental organisation said that
“Pécs is much more accepting than many other (rural) cities in Hungary”.
On the Facebook page of the Pécs Pride event, the organisers also said that this event is important for two things:
“Pécs Pride 2021 is both a human rights demonstration and a day of celebration. We are demonstrating for the equal rights all people deserve, and we are celebrating our bravery and daringness to be ourselves even in the current situation!”.
Recently, the Hungarian government has passed a law that aimed to protect children and to impose harsher punishment on paedophiles. The law has sparked significant controversy, and many have demonstrated their disapproval. You can find out why many people have nicknamed the law at issue the “homophobic law” HERE.
Also, since then, the international media has observed Hungary with watchful eyes and have expressed their opinions on the law. If you did not follow the recent events, you can get information from the following articles:

There is no doubt to the level of moral bankruptcy that this rag supports. They want to try and destroy the traditional family. Look ,,,,if Adam and Steve want to do their thing within the confines of their own bedroom let them but to subject the public and especially young children to these morally bankrupt people flaunting their alternative lifestyle in public that is just wrong. Next these people will want to legalize pedophilia like they just did in California. Let them stick their foot in the door and you will never be able to shut the door again.
Mike hall, you are living in the wrong century. This is not XV C Inquisition Castilla. There is no place for Torquemadas like you in our time.
Best thing is: future does not belong to people like you. Teenagers of today are the future, and they want nothing to share with you.
Long live Freedom. Down with the Inquisition.
Mike Hall – Tolerance – again Tolerance.
If they behave in a way – that is “outside the square” of normal day to day life in the 21st century, then by all means – jump on them.
If they do their thing – in public – that permits the young/children – to view and witness – do it in a way that does not – Flaunt and Shove it Down the throat – of citizens – heterosexual – but especially NOT children.
What behaviour they choose to practice and lives they choose to live – behind closed doors – their decision.
Don’t – Flaunt and Display this lifestyle – respect all forms of 21st lifestyle practices and be TOLERANT.
Family – the upbringing and the Responsibilities of Parenthood – in the formulative years of a child’s life – absolutely – must be Respected and have laws that do not permit nor the provision nor ability of any group, race of people – in a public area – to shove there ideas – thoughts or sexuality down citizens throats.
Tolerance and Respect rather than sending it “underground” which would be a Disaster and cause greater citizens un-rest.
Mike – could be a laugh – tongue in cheek – standing watching a re-enactment of Tchaikovsky – Dance of the Sugar Plum Ferries /// – outside the Houses of Parliament in Budapest.
Don’t think so.
So “Mario” – not a European, not a Hungarian – DARES tell us Hungarians WHAT / HOW to think or speak.
What a filthy piece of GARBAGE that damn American continually shows himself to be via his comments.
FOR THE RECORD, “MARIO”, THE MAJORITY OF HUNGARIANS THINK THE SAME WAY AS MIKE HALL !
If you don’t like it, please feel free to blow your brains out – if you have any.
The Czech President was quite right : “All LGBTQWXYZs are truly DISGUSTING”.
That annoying little insect – “Mario” – by his support for such degenerates is (yet again) demonstrating that he should be sprayed with (full-strength) DDT, his wings pulled off, his tiny proboscis snapped in half (that would be difficult !) and then whatever remains SQUASHED between two house bricks, drenched with kerosene and finally burnt.
Hopefully NOTHING would then remain of the filthy creature.
Unfortunately, not only his beloved LGBTQWXYZs but also those ILLEGAL MUSLIM MIGRANTS – which he so worships – would remain.
Not to worry, we can always come up with something quite ‘suitable’ for them …..
Mario, The truth is seldom popular. I am in the right century and I do not want my children or the children of the world subjected to the whims of the sicko’s such as yourself that want to determine what children are taught and exposed too. I do not care if I am the only person left on this planet speaking against our children being groomed to become the play things of you sick creatures that desire to molest young children. You and your kind are truly evil and all I can say is may God have mercy upon your soul on Judgement Day because unless you become forgiven for the immoral life your presently living you will find your future abode a rather warm place to spend eternity. Mario, I really do not want or need your approval.
So er, Mike Hall, is that a yes or a no for your attendance at Pécs Pride?
