Hungary's leader, authoritarian Putin-lover Viktor Orbán, tried to ban the annual Pride march in Hungary's capital Budapest. He was resoundingly unsuccessful.

Beneath a blaze of rainbow flags and amid roars of defiance, big crowds gathered in the Hungarian capital Budapest for the city’s 30th annual Pride march – an event that, this year, is unfolding as both a celebration and a protest. Moving through the capital in the sweltering heat, demonstrators carried signs reading “Solidarity with Budapest Pride” and waved placards bearing crossed-out illustrations of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. [ ... ] The march proceeded in open defiance of a police ban imposed earlier this year under sweeping new legislation that prohibits LGBTQ+ events nationwide. [ ... ] In March, Hungarian lawmakers passed legislation barring Pride events and permitting the use of facial recognition technology to identify participants – measures campaigners say is illegal and part of a wider crackdown on the LGBTQ+ community. Orban welcomed the ban, which he said would outlaw gatherings that “violate child protection laws.” His government has pushed a strongly Christian and conservative agenda. The ban sparked lively protests in Budapest in March, with organizers of the city’s Pride vowing to continue with the annual festival despite the new law and declaring: “We will fight this new fascist ban.”

A report on Budapest Pride. It seems that its appeal went way beyond the LGBTQ+ community.

Orbán's party Fidesz has been falling behind in the polls this year. According to POLITICO Europe's Poll of Polls, Fidesz is now 10 points behind the main opposition Tisza party. Support for Tisza is at its highest level since the party was founded over a year ago.

1998? Wow! Though idk why I'm surprised bc that's a year before But I'm A Cheerleader, it makes sense that conversion therapy was becoming known then

Looks like the guy in the photo, John Paulk, admitted in 2013 that he was still gay, denounced gay conversion therapy and the idea of "ex-gays", and divorced his wife, who still believes in it.

Still the greatest magazine cover of all time. Why are they framed in shadow. Why is the text so stark. Why is this being framed like the poster with the villains on it for a superhero movie. This summer: a new sexual identity emerges. The bisexuals will change the hierarchy of the DC Universe forever

Heck, people can even be biased against themselves, never mind other members of the group they're in. Just look at how many women espouse misogynistic beliefs and apply those beliefs to themselves, often because that's what they grew up with.

Many lgbt teenagers and young adults growing up on the internet today have socially conservative beliefs that they voice at all times that they got from their conservative parents which they’ve never challenged because they think the life experience of being gay or trans makes them politically progressive

This is Kady Grass "KD" she/her" a 19-уr-old lesbian. On May 13th 2025 she was at McDonald's in Carpentersville, IL, was called a f@ggot, then followed into the women's restroom and beat unconscious by an adult man and a 17yr old boy. Please share this. It should be national news! 🥺🌈

Honestly, part of why it irritates me when people act performatively shocked at the homophobia in 2000s media is it wasn't just media. "Can you believe this aired in 2008" buddy, in 2008 I was having shit thrown at me from moving cars for having long hair, and you wanna get worked up about sitcoms?

Jonathan Joss being murdered in a hate crime and the cops saying there was ‘no evidence’ it was a homophobic hate crime despite the witness testimony from his husband who watched him be murdered is grotesque beyond words.
