khaolakguy Posted Saturday at 07:30 PM Posted Saturday at 07:30 PM Viktor Orban's increasingly extreme attempt to associate homosexuality with paedophilia, in order to drive homosexuality back into the closet, seems to be reaching a fulcrum with the banning of the Budapest Gay Pride march next weekend, on the grounds that it might be seen by children who would be forever scarred(or seduced?) by the event. The libertarian Mayor of Budapest(challenger to Orban in the next national elections) is determined that the march should go ahead and European MEPs and human rights activists have pledged their support and to be present on the march. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2k1d7dlgzko Ruthrieston 1 Quote
Members unicorn Posted Saturday at 07:45 PM Members Posted Saturday at 07:45 PM Orban is the threat to children. So is Trump. They want gay children dead--no bones about it. Consider a donation to the Trevor Project or something similar. https://www.thetrevorproject.org/blog/trump-administration-orders-termination-of-national-lgbtq-youth-suicide-lifeline-effective-july-17th/ "June 18, 2025 – The Trevor Project received official notice yesterday that the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is initiating the closure of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services program within 30 days, effective July 17, 2025. Jaymes Black, CEO of The Trevor Project, released the following statement in response: “We received official notice that the Trump administration has ordered the closure of The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services program, effective July 17, 2025. This means that, in 30 short days, this program that has provided life-saving services to more than 1.3 million LGBTQ+ young people will no longer be available for those who need it. “This is devastating, to say the least. Suicide prevention is about people, not politics. The administration’s decision to remove a bipartisan, evidence-based service that has effectively supported a high-risk group of young people through their darkest moments is incomprehensible. The fact that this news comes to us halfway through Pride Month is callous – as is the administration’s choice to remove the ‘T’ from the acronym ‘LGBTQ+’ in their announcement. Transgender people can never, and will never, be erased. Ruthrieston 1 Quote
