A pro-government take on the Pride festival
June 23rd, 2023As the Budapest Pride Month enters its second week, a right-wing columnist lambasts LGBT activism but advocates tolerance toward sexual minorities.
In Magyar Nemzet, Attila Borsodi finds it frightening that an LGBT activist organization invited the United Nations to condemn Christianity as an ideology hostile to sexual minorities. He also laments that under what he sees as constant pressure by LGBT activists, priests in western countries give their blessing to same-sex couples. Meanwhile, he admits that the LGBT lobby is right to expect society to be tolerant and respectful towards sexual minorities. ‘We only ask them to also hold our own Christian faith and culture in respect’, he concludes.
