Huge march against the new Hungarian “homophobic” law

Change language:

The Háttér Társaság (Society for those in the Background) and Amnesty International Hungary announced another demonstration for Wednesday evening against the paedophile law which contains homophobic modifiers and was passed on Tuesday.

“Love is stronger than hate – let’s show János Áder too!” is the title of the demonstration which was held at the Sándor Palace.

“Protect LGBTQI youth! Show the worth of receiving factual information and reassuring support. Show how happy and full of a life LGBTQI people can live if they are left alone! ” the organisers wrote on the Facebook page of the protest.

Dozens of police officers surrounded the Sándor Palace, who were initially three to four times more than the participants. However, St. George’s Square was filled quickly.

“It is the job of President János Áder not to sign the law,” said David Vig, director of Amnesty, to which the crowd began to chant: “Do not sign it, János!”

Before the demonstration, the organisers asked participants to write down their coming out stories and explain what it meant to them that they were supported by their loved ones or people important to them. Reports were also expected as to whether there was a school conversation where authentic information about LGBTQI people could be obtained, whether there was an LGBTQI family member, acquaintance, friend whom support, and if so, why and how.

According to Telex, these letters were also placed at the Sándor Palace, the office of President János Áder.

  1. You poor, vulnerable people.
    You’ve been had by the left’s political machinery.
    The more publicity you get, the more opposition you will encounter.
    Get on with your life, try and gain some happiness and contentment, accept yourself and make the
    best of it.

  2. President Janos Ader – will he or will he not – play the “puppet on a string” to Fidesz ???
    President Janos Ader – conscience decision by your conscience – for the Hungary of the 21st century and Future.
    President Janos Ader – conscience position you must take.
    What ever your conscience decision President Janos Ader – may be and it is HOPED for the betterment of Hungary immediately and into the Future – you refuse to sign this Bill – open and transparent communication to the citizens of Hungary – 9.6 million – you must SPEAK.

  3. As usual the Left is not interested in discussing the detail of the law.
    Instead they simply call it homophobic and march their gullible followers up and down the streets!

    I am simply not interested in the what adult people do in the privacy of their bedrooms.
    It is totally wrong to force these beliefs on children of a young age. When children become adults they can make up their own minds what lifestyle they want to adopt.

  4. Did not look like a huge crowd to me, what is a huge crowd? 500 people? 2000? 10,000? 100,000? my guess is there were at best 2000 people there and that is certainly not a huge crowd. 2000 out of probably 10 million Hungarians is by no means a ground swell to change the laws or revoke them.

  5. why do these people not keep there private life ,,
    PRIVATE
    because it is not about that….. it is brain washing us into an unhealthy way of life .
    example ..the word,, GAY. was happy ..always was ,
    but we have to change it ,,to suit them ,
    they are homo sexual ,
    why not call it what it is ,,???
