Hungarian Parliament Bans LGBT Pride Events with Amendment to Child Protection Law

LGBT Pride March in Budapest

Hungary’s parliament, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s national-conservative and anti-globalist Fidesz party, passed new “child protection” legislation on Tuesday, which, among other provisions, bans LGBT ‘Pride’ marches.

The law—an amendment to the Assembly Act—passed by a decisive 136-27 vote with no abstentions and backed by Orbán’s Fidesz party and their minority coalition partner, the Christian Democrats, makes it “illegal to hold an assembly that violates the prohibition set forth in Child Protection Act.”

“Today, we voted to ban gatherings that violate child protection laws. In Hungary, a child’s right to healthy physical, mental, intellectual, and moral development comes first. We won’t let woke ideology endanger our kids,” Prime Minister Orbán wrote on X following the cote.

The Child Protection Act passed in 2024, prohibits the “depiction or promotion” of homosexuality, gender reassignment, or deviation from birth sex identity to minors under the age of 18.

Under the approved amendment, individuals attending prohibited events may be fined between 6,500 and 200,000 Hungarian forints (€16 to €502)—penalties that cannot be substituted with community service or detention. The proceeds from these fines will be allocated to child protection initiatives.

Additionally, the law authorizes security forces to use facial recognition technology to identify individuals participating in events deemed illegal, including unauthorized Pride marches.

Predictably, the new law has incited indignation and sparked outrage among pro-globalist establishment liberals both within Hungary and throughout Europe. The mainstream press, of course, is also seething.

A small faction of left-liberal lawmakers in Hungary’s parliament staged a protest against the new law by setting off smoke bombs within the chamber, filling the room with plumes of colored smoke.

Speaking to the Hungarian press, Máté Kocsis, leader of the Fidesz parliamentary group, said: “Protecting children is a priority in all circumstances. Anyone who has children knows what the problem is with the Pride parade and its aftermath on social media and other public forums. I have three children and I would not want them to see such content.”

“Perhaps the organizers are also aware that what they do year after year irritates a large part of society. Abnormality provokes normality,” he Kocsis.

Prime Minister Orbán has defended the legislation as a vital step to shield children from what he characterizes as the indoctrination of liberal ideologies and the perceived decadence of Pride marches in Western Europe.

Gergely Gulyás, Orbán’s chief of staff, recently proposed that Pride events could be held indoors to protect children from exposure, asserting that the law is specifically designed to protect the innocence of children.

Critics of the new legislation have accused Prime Minister Orbán’s conservative government of repressing LGBT rights as a strategy to secure electoral support in advance of next year’s pivotal parliamentary elections.

Budapest Pride went so far as to characterize the law as tantamount to “fascism.” LGBT activists and organizers of the annual Pride march in Budapest have vowed to move forward with the event that was scheduled to take place on June 28th.

“The government is trying to restrict peaceful protests with a critical voice by targeting a minority. Therefore, as a movement, we will fight for the freedom of all Hungarians to demonstrate!” Pride spokesperson Mate Hegedus said

“People are still willing to come to Budapest Pride and show support to the community even if they have to pay fines,” he added.

Budapest’s left-liberal mayor Gergely Karácsony, struck a similar tone, telling Politico Europe: “Whatever anyone says, there will be Pride in Budapest this June. It may even be bigger than ever before.”

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.

Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.

She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.

The New York Post reports:

BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.

Just amazing.

Here’s a local video report:

She should pay back every penny.

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’

Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.

RedState has an update:

To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”

This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.

Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:

See Olbermann’s tweet below:

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

Read the text exchange here:

Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.

“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

The Daily Mail reported:

The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.

Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.

Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’

His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.

Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
