Budapest: Thousands of Hungarians plan to join Budapest Pride March annual on Saturday in a performance of support for LGBT people and to protest laws that prohibit the use of material in schools that are seen as homosexuality promotions and re-assignments of gender.
Prime Nationalist Viktor, in power since 2010, has developed the increasingly radical social policy in what he describes as a fight to maintain the traditional Christian values of liberalism.
The Western European Commission has launched legal action against the ORBAN government for new laws, which It comes to apply this month, saying it is discriminatory and contrary to the values of European tolerance and the government of individual freedom, which faces difficult elections next year, saying things like LGBT rights for the national government to decide and say they will call reform on reform.
It is said that the law is not about targeting homosexuality but about protecting Hungarian children.
Fans March Saturday has asked supporters to fight hatred and reject efforts with what they call “power hungry politicians” to intimidate LGBT people.
“The past has been very demanding, troublesome and frightening for the LGBTQ community,” they said in a statement.
“Instead of protecting a minority, the Democratic Government Fardsz-Christian uses laws to make members of the LGBTQ community in their own country.” Some groups Civil rights have criticized ORBAN reform and last month’s survey by the IPSSS poll’s organization found that 46% Hungary supported same-sex marriage.
On Monday, more than 40 cultural institutions and embassies in Hungary, including people in the United States, Britain and Germany, published a joint statement to support the Budapest Pride Festival.
“Worried about the latest developments that threaten non-discrimination principles on the reason for sexual orientation or gender identity, we encourage steps in each country to ensure the equality and dignity of all humans regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity,” they said.
