Amnesty International says Budapest Pride parade “worthy celebration of diversity, tolerance and fight for equal rights”

By

Amnesty International Hungary will support Saturday’s Budapest Pride parade and its representatives will attend the event, the organisation said.

AI Hungary said on Tuesday it hoped the police would secure the right of participants to assemble and guarantee their free speech.

AI said in a statement that the festival is a “worthy celebration of diversity, tolerance and the fight for equal rights.”

The 17th Budapest Pride film and cultural festival started on Sunday.

It aims to present the diversity of Hungary’s LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex) community. The traditional parade will be held as part of the festival on Saturday.

    By Sodom and Gomorrah you of course mean the many porn studios, brothels, massage joints, escort services, and stripper bars all over Budapest, and not grownups having consensual relationships.

    Forget I*srael (I know that’s like asking you to stop breathing for an hour) – send them to Toronto

    I think the The Gay Pride Parade here coincided with the one in BP so it was just covered on the News – this was its 32nd year and our city made $140 million.

    Actually we had Pride Week and the parade was on Sunday which coincided with “Canada Day” – that would be Canada’s birthday.

    Correction -the Parade is coming up – I thought it was last weekend. maybe you could go and hand out “go to Toronto next year” signs

    Oh, I almost forgot – perhaps you could review the publicity pics taken in Toronto and spot another JOBBIK member.

    Remember that happened a couple of years ago? Must have been a Mossad agent with a camera.

    I really hope that some of the participants of the parade has enough National(ist) Sense, that they’ll wearing clothes like Krisztina Morvai and Mrs.Schmitt, this way they may be able to demonstrate to the masses their real feelings.

    By the other hand, it would be interesting to see too, how the above mentioned ladies style adjust after that…

      I hope the participants of the parade will be hit by a nice hail storm. :)

        Sadly for you, it was a lovely day – bit hot, but plenty of water at hand. And while the Jobbik thugs were kept far away, many residents of the buildings on the streets we passed through waved and smiled.

          “it was a lovely day”

          What a real pity.

          “many residents of the buildings on the streets we passed through waved and smiled”

          Had an acid trip, too, you pervert? :D
