On Monday, the parliament is set to vote on a constitutional amendment that would strengthen the legal foundations for the prohibition of the Pride march. Waving gray flags, including rainbow flags turned monochromatic, more than 10,000 people joined the humourous demonstration with a serious cause in Budapest on Saturday.

    1 in 5 LGBT being the victim of a hate crime

    Holy fuck why does that never get a mention? That’s actually shocking.

      Maybe you’re not being told for some sort of specific reason that may or may not end with -phobia. Might make you want to re-think whether “they won” or not.

      Edit: Also Pride happens once a year, maybe get over it? This is the same energy as the Americans that want to end Black History Month. Do you tell your mom you’re tired of Mothers Day?

      If they report ever being on the receiving end of a slur, that counts. Kind of like the “x% of women will be sexually assaulted”, technically I (male) would also report as being sexually assaulted because one time a girl grabbed my ass in passing at a party. It’s a very broad category.

        If someone grabbed my ass at a party, I would count that as sexual assault. Idk what ur going for here, just cuz you don’t mind doesn’t mean it shouldn’t count

          Yeah that’s my point. It is counted as sexual assault, and that broad definition is what makes the number so high, just like the “1 in 5” figure we were talking about. When the criteria are so broad, it shouldn’t be that shocking.
