Hungary’s LGBTQ+ Event Ban Isn’t Hate, It’s a Rejection of Sexualized Spectacle
There are no public parades for straight people. So why should sexual preference be a centerpiece of public life?
Does what’s happening in Hungary matter to us here in the United States?
No.
Could a discussion around what they’re doing lead to people changing their perspective on what is happening here in the U.S.?
Absolutely.
Right from the start, I want it to be clear that nobody’s banning love.
Nobody’s kicking down doors or asking who you’re holding hands with behind closed doors.
Hungary has drawn a clear line between private life and public propaganda, and I believe they are 100% in the right for doing so.
(Don’t know what I’m talking about?)
Read This: Hungary passes constitutional amendment to ban LGBTQ+ public events, seen as a major blow to rights.
They’ve banned public LGBTQ+ events, not relationships, not rights, not existence.
Some media outlets and SJW’s are screaming about “oppression,” but here are the questions nobody wants to ask:
What about all the public heterosexual parades?
Where are the street festivals celebrating a man marrying a woman and having a couple of kids?
Where are the corporate-sponsored floats for traditional families?
You don’t see those getting banned, because they don’t exist…
And that’s because sexual preference has never belonged in the public spotlight - no matter who you’re sleeping with.
Hungary made a simple call:
We’re not putting sexual identity at the center of our public square.
That’s not bigotry.
That’s basic cultural boundaries.
However, in America, Canada, and several other Western nations, we have lost the plot.
We’ve traded appropriateness and tradition for validation.
Everything now revolves around identity, and somehow, sexual orientation is treated like a resume skill instead of a private matter.
Kids are being handed rainbow flags before they learn multiplication.
Cities are prioritizing Pride parades over crime, education, and infrastructure.
Schools, Libraries, and Stores are hosting drag events while minors are present.
But if you raise your hand and say, “Hey, maybe we shouldn’t be doing this?”
You’re labeled a bigot.
Hungary Isn’t the Problem, We Are…
Hungary’s not rounding people up.
They’re not legislating hate.
They’re not outlawing same-sex couples.
They’re saying:
“Your sexuality is not a performance for our streets or our kids.”
And that’s a message the rest of the world should pay attention to.
Because we’ve gone off the rails, we’ve turned sexuality into a brand and demanded public validation for private choices.
And let’s be honest, it’s no longer about equality - It’s about attention.
Here’s the Truth:
You don’t need a parade to love who you love.
You don’t need public affirmation to live your life.
You don’t need children involved in adult topics to feel accepted.
Hungary decided to re-center its public space around cultural sanity, not sexual identity. And I believe that’s a sign of a nation that still understands the difference between freedom and fanaticism.
The West should be taking notes.
