(TheProudRepublic.com) – Conservatives worldwide are thrilled about Hungary’s decision to slam the door on the radical LGBTQ+ agenda by passing landmark legislation to ban Pride marches and protect children from being exposed to sexual propaganda.
See the tweets below.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s government won a landslide vote to ban Pride parades, striking a blow against the global push to normalize sexuality in public spaces where children are present.
The Hungarian parliament decisively passed the new law with an overwhelming 136-27 vote, delivering a resounding victory for traditional family values.
The legislation, championed by Orbán’s Fidesz party and their Christian Democrat allies, amends the country’s assembly law to penalize events that violate Hungary’s “child protection” standards – specifically targeting parades and gatherings promoting homosexuality to minors.
Under the new law, citizens caught attending prohibited events face stiff fines of up to 200,000 Hungarian forints ($546).
The bill also allows authorities to use facial recognition technology to identify those who violate the ban.
At the same time, the law represents part of a broader effort by Orbán’s administration to defend Hungary’s cultural identity against progressive ideologies being pushed by the European Union and global LGBTQ activists.
Tamás Dombos, a Hungarian LGBTQ activist, complained:
“It’s a very common strategy of authoritarian governments not to talk about the real issues that people are affected by: the inflation, the economy, the terrible condition of education and health care.”
Liberal lawmakers showed their true colors during the vote, disrupting parliamentary proceedings by igniting smoke bombs in protest.
Meanwhile, outside the government buildings, demonstrators blocked Budapest’s Margaret Bridge in opposition to the law, demonstrating the lengths to which progressives will go to defend their agenda.
The new legislation strengthens Hungary’s 2021 “child protection” law, which already restricts LGBTQ content in media and education and prohibits the public depiction of non-binary gender identities.
These measures have earned Hungary praise from conservatives worldwide while drawing predictable criticism from EU bureaucrats who claim the laws discriminate based on sexual orientation.
Budapest Pride organizers, who had scheduled their 30th anniversary parade for June 28, lashed out against the law, claiming it is “nothing more than political theater – the ruling party is using the LGBTQ community for its own gain. But we refuse to be anyone’s scapegoat.”
Prime Minister Orbán, who has governed Hungary since 2010, has made no secret of his government’s intention to protect Hungary’s children and traditional values.
The new law specifies that only events respecting children’s “proper development” are permitted – a common-sense restriction that prioritizes the innocence of youth over adults’ desires to express their sexuality in public spaces.
The legislation has catalyzed large-scale protests and has become a focal point of contention between Hungary and the European Union.
With Budapest Pride organizers planning to resist this suppressive measure, the world watches how Hungary navigates its path, balancing national interests and global expectations.
