The harsh answer of America to the Hungarian homophobic law
The reaction from the USA arrived quite quickly after the package of bills mixing paedophiles and homosexuals on the same criminal level was voted in the Hungarian Parliament.
One of the most controversial laws of the past years was accepted in the Hungarian Parliament by 157 representatives. The law, which was originally created against paedophiles in order to protect children better, received some modifications that practically turned it into a homophobic package of decisions.
Already the news of the possibility of passing this modified and very distorted bill caused many people to raise their voice, which ended in a mass protest on Monday afternoon in front of the Parliament.
Furthermore, it is not only Hungarian citizens and almost the complete opposition (except for the radical, rightist party of Jobbik) that found the decision shocking, unacceptable and outrageous. The international response and reaction arrived quicker than ever.
Some of the most prominent American production companies expressed their solidarity with RTL Klub Hungary’s statement issued on Monday. According to the TV channel,
the decision that stigmatises homosexuality and discriminates against its representatives in the media violates the right to the freedom of expression.
As telex.hu writes, the free-to-air television channel and its opinion are
backed by huge names of the media, such as HBO, AMC, WarnerMedia and ViacomCBS. Even A+E networks UK joined the statement.
The privately-owned heavyweights of the sector were not the only ones from the States who had something to say about the decision. Apart from Hungarian media companies, civil organisations and representatives of the European Parliament,
even the US Embassy felt the need to comment.
The US Embassy to Budapest posted a little public letter on their Facebook page, expressing their deep concerns for the anti-LGBTQ+ aspects of the bill and quoting President Biden’s words ensuring those who are part of this community that they are seen, they are supported and that their courage to accept nothing less than equality inspires everyone.
The USA stands for the idea that governments should protect human rights, including that of LGBTQ+ people.
US Vice President Kamala Harris even participated in Washington’s Pride March last week, wearing a T-shirt that said “Live is love”, thus becoming the first-ever Vice President to participate in the event.
If the bill’s passing causes such a harsh international reaction, then why did the Hungarian Parliament accept it in the first place? It was very much expected that this would happen, based on the past decades’ intensive fights and demonstrations for equal human rights all over the world. The answer is relatively simple. The Hungarian government knew exactly what it was doing; it was a conscious decision.
The reason behind it is to simply create a kind of hostile environment in the country between those who stand for and those who stand against this bill. On the one hand, the law stigmatising homosexuals or anyone part of the LGBTQ+ community can create a sense of fear in these people. On the other hand, a pretty big group of Hungarian citizens, primarily those living in smaller towns or tiny villages, who have been the base of voters for the government during the past years, will once again feel like they belong together, they have the same ideas and same values. But most importantly, as history has shown on many occasions, hatred and discrimination can very well bring a certain group of people together to fight for their either legitimate or delusional ideas. Especially if the country is right before the Parliamentary election of 2022.

The USA needs to mind its own business, they cannot even take care of their homeless people and their veterans. Did you know that everyday in America many military veterans commit suicide because their wonderful government does not keep their promises to them? Yet, it is a higher priority of the US Government for moral degenerates to be given rights to shove their lifestyle in our faces and push their sexual perversion on our young children. America is not a beacon of freedom anymore it is a tyranny that is trying to compell everyone to do as they are told even if it is morally wrong.
Prime Minister – Victor Orban and his Government in the signing off of this bill CONTINUE to totally discredit themselves as a Political Party that “claim” they act for ALL the citizens and future of Hungary.
This bill has not been passed through Parliament by the clear defined historical lines of DEMOCRACY.
This bill – we witness AGAIN – Victor Orban and his “lemmings” – redefining changing vastly – the core Functionality and Ingredients that come under DEMOCRACY.
Evidenced to the citizens of Hungary – is this “progressive” move – hardening to Rule as a Government – that is under an idea and philosophy that is a DICTATORSHIP – in its core ideology and fundamentals.
The “stripping” away – fragmenting core ingredients, continuing to “splinter” and “divide” – change, re-write and damage – DEMOCRACY – is the growing rapid position – we are witnessing this present Government of Hungary – their mission, that they are leading Hungary into, the immediate and long term future.
The United States Embassy – communication to the Hungarian Government and the citizens of Hungary – to the entire World, on the passing of this bill -will play into the widening of relationships – the negative and concerning opinion President Joe Biden has on the Political landscape of Hungary.
This bill will not globally – grow relationships with countries – who we need – but will through it’s – INTENT – that is the stigmatization of human beings that centers on sexuality – that will use the force and power of the law and of this present Government.
In the humiliation and embarrassment to Hungary – in the 21st century – post 1989 – that the signing of this bill – to million of Hungarian citizens – from “all stations in life” – those in thousands who vote and support Fidesz – and citizens who vote for “other” political party’s – human beings of ALL – decisions in there life that they have made under the right of – FREEDOM of CHOICE – their SEXUALITY – this bill must NEVER NEVER NEVER – be seen to be acted on in Hungary.
The absolute “blindness” of a Government – that WRONGLY – throws together – Pedophilia and Homosexuality – being “combined” in sexuality and behaviorally – is embarrassingly – naive narrow in it’s THINKING.
Read on The Holy Roman Catholic Church – position, in it’s on-going DISASTERS – of child abuse.
They separate – Pedophilia and Homosexuality – separate deal with them Individually and NOT what this Hungarian bill is designed to “lay in law” that if are one of same – Medically WRONG decision again by the Present Government of Hungary.
Orderly – together from ALL sectors of Hungarian society to ensure this bill is never seen enforced nor acted on in the Hungary of the 21st century and FUTURE.
Why the U.S. has the right to interfere into the affairs of the other independent country?! It is an internal affair of Hungary. And only Hungarians should decide how they will proceed this way. Without US’s advice.
Once the CCP controls Hungary, this law will be used by the the ruling Hungarian puppets to imprison the clergy that are deemed a threat to China. You know Fidesz will have to denounce Christianity when there is big trouble in little China.
So disappointing to see Hungary degenerate into a hate filled society. What, this isn’t the first we’ve seen of this? Hungarians, always remember, at least there will be ideological tourists coming from the east.
@Mike Hall: Can I send you photos I take everyday of the homeless people in Hungary? Half dead on the street… Some are in fact dead. In one year, I’ve seen 3 deaths in my street alone.
@Mat: Ever heard of freedom of speech? Does that still exist in Hungary? (<– rhetorical question) Also, there are Americans living in Hungary, so the USA will protect it's citizens. If you don't understand that, then you should go back to school 🙂
The whole world is progressing, except for Hungary. Here things are going backwards. Companies rethinking their investments in Hungary… The only reason why companies invest in Hungary is for cheap labor. Hungary has nothing else to offer, so if you chase everyone away…. good luck 😉
Hungary already considered too white by the US.
All great western writers and thinkers of the western world are being rejected by major universities and libs- spare us the outrage. It doesn’t matter that US elected a black man twice by whites people who made up 75% of voters. They race baited the country for 8 years and it has continued and is destroying the country.
This Government of Hungary – Fidesz continues to widen barriers globally in what they are “pushing or steamrolling” through Parliament as Law in Hungary.
Fidesz – under the leadership of Victor Orban – our current Prime Minister certainly is not repairing “destroyed” bridges in relationships with county’s that Hungary need.
The widening gap within the European Union – created by the policies and attitude of our present Government, should concern ALL of us Hungarians from whichever side of Politics we support.
Hungary’s relationship in wider Europe “strained” sitting in a hold or Limbotic position – that is, in all probability – likely to worsen rather than be repaired.
America – we know the growing trepidation that they rightfully see as Hungary – the mass quickened process away from core Democratic principles.
Agree or Disagree – and the writer is no fan of America seeing them as a country run in a style that is of Hypocrites – but we in Hungary – still Diplomatically – need them.
Globally – and we NEED to Care – what is Happening to the brand name – HUNGARY ///
Bravo Hungary !
The distructive NEO-MARXISM has to be stoped !
The only hate you will see in Hungary will come from the Left. It is the Left that will lie and be violent. It will not be part of the government. I am gay and I agree with Hungarian leadership that homosexuality has no place in school children’s books. Let children become young adults before they are subjected to such things. Long live a free and Christian Hungary!!!
The United States under President Biden has become an unmitigated disaster. Biden and his Islamist state department should not be lecturing the productive and successful Hungarian society about anything. Biden has destroyed what made for success and safety in the United States and even destroyed the American dream – the American future. One example: he shut down American independence in energy that Donald Trump created for the first time in 70 years, specifically the Keystone and Dakota pipelines. In five months American energy costs had risen 55%. Low cost energy has everything to do with national and personal prosperity.
Meanwhile Biden gave the green light to build the Russian pipeline into the EU that was sanctioned by Donald Trump, specifically to the same Germany that was energy independent itself before it deliberately shut down its nuclear reactors. Germany is now buying high cost energy from Russia with the very same money they owed to NATO and the United States. The USA picked up Germany’s share of bills for NATO. So the Germans are paying their potential enemy, and America’s potential enemy, for the modernization of Russia’s military, with American taxpayer’s money that Obama-Biden gave them knowing-well what they will do with it. The same money Donald Trump removed from Merkel to force Germany to pay for its own share of European security, obligating Germany to pay their fair share of NATO’s bills, so the American taxpayer won’t have to. Biden also crushed the Arctic exploration for American energy, while Russia added 110,000 workers to its current 300,000 for more Arctic exploration. One example of many, of American failure deliberately implemented under Biden, Joe Biden and his puppet masters Obama and Soros have no business lecturing Hungary about anything.
While Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry were making AMERICA LAST, Donald Trump just six months ago was making AMERICA FIRST. In the same sense PM Orbán is making HUNGARY FIRST. Making your own country first is the primary job and obligation of any nation’s elected leader.
Making your nation last is treason.
Hungary is a family-and-child oriented nation that is partially, and not wholly, hostile to anti-family movements. Hungarians don’t hate gays. But they will not provide for additional rights for LGBT either.
While Europe and the USA are being dismembered of people who reproduce future people, Hungary has shown the way, albeit it may be uncomfortable to some, how to rebuild BETTER a society and a nation, for a prosperous future for happy families who will add to, and not make the human race extinct. One cannot manufacture children and a future workforce and financial security by denying biology. Hungary’s laws affirm nature and biological fact – and their purpose is to insure a viable and independent state.
Gabor Tibor comments – Appreciated.
Commentators using this facility to express opinions which sadly to often are noticed to be defamatory, insulting and malicious in tone, fail dismally to acknowledge any attention to the growing Social Inequality that is literally rampant in Hungary.
Our district and the utca that we live, has constant citizens from backgrounds that they are homeless and living in a lifestyle of poverty.
The National Elections to be held in May 2022 post 1989 the end of socialistic rule in Hungary which supposed was to bring in a Democratic form of Government has NEVER fully been embraced.
We are seeing presently and in past years the ongoing dismantling fragmentation rewriting of Democracy – under the Political Party that at present Govern Hungary.
Hungary – the ongoing uncertain path it takes never out of news that see’s the brand name Hungary continueing to be damaged by the Political – Ideas and Philosophies of this present Government.
Who – what country’s of “worth” holding a global reputation for practicing Democratic rule – who can Hungary honestly call a Friend or Allies ???
These are serious dangerous and uncertain times we live – and the bill passed by the current Government June 15th – is a further sign of a movement accelerating rapidly into a Dictatorship regime of Government.
The current Government continues to strip away – removing eradicating – the basic LAW of Democracy – being the right of people to speak – have a VOICE – express opinion – take positions and object through the Laws of Democracy.
What post May 2022 – do the citizens of Hungary – what form of Government do they WISH and VOTE for – to take Hungary forward and out of a Government style – that is “mirroring” itself on the pre 1989 to 1944 – darkened historical days in the history of Hungary.
Peoples right to Vote – the Power it gives People – and we in Hungary must use this – Peoples Power – to permit allow the lights remain on in Hungary – for it’s Future – ours and Families.
Socialism which signed the EU Accords binding Hungary to ideas and ideals it has never signed on to, almost destroyed the nation and is not the solution to homelessness, but homelessness is the result of socialism. Now we have socialism in the USA and an exponential growth in poverty and homelessness.

There were tens of thousands of rubber rafts paddling their way from Cuba, Venezuela, to Miami’s beaches. There are no rubber rafts paddling their way to Cuba and Venezuela.
Now why is that?
Socialism has never created prosperity anywhere on the planet.
Income inequality is the nature of things, because we are not born with equal brains, equal strength, equal beauty, and an equality of the work ethic.
Socialism creates more, not less, poverty, misery, and suffering. And no future.
You want more of it, vote socialist, and you will be granted your wish.
Good and so PROUD of Hungary !!!! The US has become the IMMORAL cesspool of the world. And taken over by the Satanic Cult of the NWO. They went into other nations and infiltrated their government with the NWO. Corrupting the entire globe with Immorality. So take your opinion US and stick where the sun don’t shine.
These are the same guys who thought electing Biden and Kampala as President and Vice President is a good idea.
O bet every single American not taken by the leftist nonsense agrees with Hungary.
“The USA stands for the idea that governments should protect human rights, including that of LGBTQ+ people.”
How about protecting white peoples’ human rights also, are we not human as well?
Andrew B is right in his assessment of what is happening in America under the Biden/Harris administration. It is a total disaster and he’s only been in office a short time. I cry for my country.
On another note, Biden spent his honeymoon with his second wife Jill at Lake Balaton saying it was the greatest place to be and he loved Hungary. That was while Hungary was under the USSR rule. I’m sure everyone knows that Lake Balaton was for the upper echelon officers during the Soviet rule. Now that Hungary is a free country, Biden is anti Hungary. What does that say about Biden.
