Have you ever put hot sauce on something to cool it down?

Hungary has banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which essentially means Pride. Today over 500,000 people in Budapest turned up for a Pride march and told the government to: 'Fuck off!'.

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Mastodon can do it.

Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments

Freelancers/contractors: get in the comments

Everyone else: boosts appreciated.

The market is *dead* for freelancers and a big part of that (in my opinion) is fragmentation. Let's get that network effect *back*.

@bullivant The people, united, can never be defeated. Happy Pride, Budapest! 🌈

@bullivant police said 40.000 ( ridiculously low). Organizers said 200.000. So, somewhere in between those, but much closer to the latter.

Budapest Pride draws huge crowds in defiance of Orban legal threats

Tens of thousands have gathered for the LGBTQ march in Hungary's capital, despite a police ban and warning from PM Viktor Orban.

@bullivant That’s how it works 👏

@bullivant
Politicians joined from various European countries to pressure the government to not overreact. Great to see this, and without violence!

Happy Pride to all in Budapest & Hungary 🏳️‍🌈

@bullivant that’s amazing good for them.

Hey Mr Orban… a few people want to have a chat!!

Flittermouse 🎸🥁🎹🏳️‍⚧️🐩1d ago

@bullivant that's a huge festival, in a country of less than 10 million.

iamBullivant 1d ago

@Flittermouse I 'think' that quite a few people came from neighbouring countries to attend. Not sure of the numbers, though.

@bullivant
To paraphrase Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young;

Bt the time we reached the Pride March,
We were half a million strong.
And everywhere was a song,
And a celebration...

@HMLivy @bullivant Love it! But I think Joni wrote it…

@Tattered @bullivant
I never knew that. Thanks. Always good to learn new things.

iamBullivant 1d ago

@HMLivy Very good. 👏

@bullivant was it actually over 500k? that's way higher than other estimations i've seen but it's big if true

iamBullivant 1d ago

@lily That's the figure I saw. But, of course, estimating the size of crowds that size if fraught with difficulties.

Hugs4friends ♾🇺🇦 🇵🇸😷1d ago

@lily It looks like 500,000 easily. A nicely intimidating turnout. Will Orban be impressed?He should be. @bullivant

@Tooden @bullivant i'm pretty sure the organisers said 200k during the speeches but that might not be entirely accurate either
so who knows

iamBullivant 1d ago

@lily @Tooden Would the organisers have had a good idea of the numbers on the spot? But happy to be corrected.

Maikel 🇪🇺 🇪🇸1d ago

@bullivant fuck Orban with a van.

@bullivant really stress testing the load limit on that bridge!!

@bullivant Homosexuality will exist whether they like it or not. It's not like they are fucking out in the streets, so who gives a shit what they are doing in their own bedroom. Just let them be. It's really not a difficult concept.

@rejzor @bullivant
But they might hug in public, or even... kiss! /s

At a railway or bus station, there is nothing so wonderful as seeing a couple joyfully reuniting, embracing and kissing the one they love after an absence. When it is a same sex couple, it is delightful to know that one is in a country where they feel safe & secure enough to express that love in public. #Confelicity

This is totally impressive

@bullivant despite the insane heat!! mad respect

iamBullivant 1d ago

@bullivant how does one even "promote homosexuality"?
It's part of the naturally occuring world.

That's like trying to stop the promotion of sunlight. it just falls from the sky. trying to stop it sounds like a battle already lost when picked

@saxnot @bullivant If what fascists are saying doesn't seem to make sense then it doesn't make sense.

EaterOfSnacks 1d ago

@soop @saxnot @bullivant Fachos are never reliable sources. If one told me it was raining I'd check for myself.

@bullivant Thats awesome to see!

I do wonder where that 500.000 is coming from. Reports I just read said the organizers said it were about 200.000

iamBullivant 1d ago

@stefan I picked it up on social media. Happy to be corrected if other estimates are lower (Hungarian government/police, etc, not included). Whatever, it was a huge number in the face of threats and intimidation by Orban's cronies and thugs.

@bullivant its atleast the number I got out of some german media one being left media while the other is state financed media. Both say its about 200.000 according to the organizers of pride.

So it should be more true than that 500.000. I mean its from the organizers so there might be some error of being a bit more rather than smaller (I think?)

Seems to be a trustworthy number

iamBullivant 1d ago

@stefan Fair enough Stefan.
