Score one for democracy. I sincerely hope we follow suit this fall. Vance being humiliated is the cherry on top. #USPolitics

Viktor Orbán passed a law labeling gay people as pedophiles. He banned Budapest Pride and made it a criminal offense to attend with €500 fines organizers facing prison time. And when people showed up anyway, he let police use facial recognition to hunt them down at the parade.

Millions of Hungarians stood in lines for hours to say they've had enough.

I pray we are inspired by them. #USPolitics

@gedeonm Now that the new party in power controls 2/3 of the Hungarian legislature, all those nasty things put in place by Orban can be overturned. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@SharonCrockett @gedeonm Someone just posted that the new guy isn’t very pro gay rights, so it’s not going to be perfect, but it will be better for Europe and Hungary overall. One thing at a time.

@CStamp @SharonCrockett @gedeonm Indeed what I'd also seen mentioned more.

@CStamp @SharonCrockett @gedeonm He is a former member of Fidesz and therefore he's not *that* far removed from Orban.

Given who replaced him, I doubt it. It'll be a longer struggle. It seems like the biggest difference between Orban and Magyar is their stance on Russia, not immigration or queer rights.

@SharonCrockett @gedeonm

@AstroMancer5G This might be a positive sign. Although the video is a year old.

Attached: 1 image Sv. En. "and love any way they would like to, and they should live with whoever they want to live with" Skärmklipp från video där Péter Magyar får fråga om Pride. Han säger också att han slår vakt om mötesfrihet. Huruvida dessa uttalanden omsätts i politik eller inte återstår att se. Videon är ett år gammal.(Mer detaljer i alt-texten). Screenshot from video where Péter Magyar get a question on Pride. He also says he thinks freedom of assembly is important. Whether these statements will translate into politics or not remains to be seen. The video is a year old. (More details in alt-text. In Swedish. But says, among other things, what the video is called and that you can search for it on PipePipe or Freetube.) #ungern #pride #hungary
