“They want to show their support for the LGBTQ community,” said Majercsik, adding that this year’s Pride was the biggest in its 26-year history. “I’ve never been at a Pride before, although I always rooted for LGBTQ people and understood their problems,” said Zsofi Varadi, a 46-year-old mother of two, before putting on a rainbow-coloured T-shirt.

“The anti-paedophilia law has given patriots like us a weapon to protect our children from deviants like them,” a speaker told counter-demonstrators through a megaphone. “It’s kind of scary to be honest, to be myself as a gender fluid person, you can be beaten up or stuff like that,” said Artur, a 16-year-old marcher.

Several dozen ambassadors based in the Hungarian capital also attended the march, after over 40 embassies and foreign cultural institutes issued a joint statement of support for LGBTQ rights earlier this week.

The Journal is the most vile biased publication ever. Even worse is its comments section when the nastiest section of our society hang out. It's unbelievable censorship ensures its biased agenda remains unchallenged. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Meanwhile nothing newsworthy happened in Dublin.......

Do you look at your comments and see a trend of agreement?

Meanwhile in Dublin...

The depiction or promotion of homosexuality and gender reassignment to teens and children is what the calls anti-gay ?

The Beano more relevant that you

Marching against discrimination are they!!

not gonna term them far-left like you do here?

Viktor has balls like a Bengali tiger in fairness to him 👍

So much for all the ANTI-LGBTQNIA++ the EU is accusing Hungary 🇭🇺 of... Hungary is right to defend its ‘Children Protection Act’, which strives to keep Hungary’s children free of LGBTQNIA++ EXCREMENT... Other concerned countries should do so too - inc. the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪.
