Hungary's clampdown on Pride march sparks backlash

The Orbán administration has said that the country 'should not tolerate' the public event this year.

Constitutional reform in Hungary passed earlier by illiberal government. Veering further and further from checks on their authoritarian control of party structures, institutions, etc, these hypocritical right-populists, in Putin's pockets, believe women should also earn less than men.

Adoptions by same-sex couples were already banned I think, and women will now also have little protections from traditionalists who see them only as stay-at-home mothers- because the constitution adds bioessentialist language.

If this continues, Hungary should have no influence in European politics, and there are devices. And the same thing could have happened in Romania, happened in Poland, for a shorter while. European core values are threatened by people who don't respect freedom and human rights.

As Budapest Pride said- there was pride, there is pride, and there will be pride. Queer rights are human rights, now, and always.

"ohh my god you can't just-"

Am I yours to command? Does the collar 'round my neck have your name on it? I kneel to no king nor god, and I see no crown on you.

everything looks like a nail when you've got a hammer and every song is actually about the character when they're on your mind 24/7

Today's fun observation: I know my campus is huge and a lot of people go to my uni but it is so incredible funny how so many of them just, I don't know, hibernate for the colder days??

I attend (almost) every lecture and have to walk between different buildings for them, so all winter I've been walking past these sad, cold, empty benches (and trust me, there's a LOT of them) and now, that sunlight is becoming a common occurrence (it's not even the temperature, it's still pretty cold) there are suddenly people not only enjoying sunlight on previous mentioned benches but also attending lectures more frequently.

It's a pretty fun thing to think about, just how simple we truly are (but like, in a cute way)

being hungarian and speaking english is so funny, it's just endless "he- i mean she" "so her wi- HIS. his wife." "my mom asked so i told him... her. i told her." like mixing up gendered pronouns because your language doesn't have any sounds like bullshit and yet it is true and affects practically everyone i know.

I love watching movie credits like whoa all these people worked on this movie. And not one of them at any of point was like whoa don't you think this movie is perhaps too dark and you can't see shit?

love how when i get a new interest, i’m like “oh god it’s happening again” and i’m stuck like that for about a week until everything explodes and any interest i’ve had prior is completely dwarfed for an unknown amount of time

the way ppl have designated cuddling as a purely romantic thing and is weird outside of that context has done widespread damage to our pack animal nature
