No more parades celebrating wickedness and psychological disorders in Hungary:
The Hungarian parliament has passed a law that effectively bans LGBTQ pride events nationwide. Opposition members attempted to derail the vote on Tuesday by setting off smoke bombs within the chamber.
Passed in a 136-27 vote, the law broadens an existing ban on exposing minors to LGBTQ-themed content to encompass public assemblies. It also grants police the authority to film attendees for identification. Participants of outlawed gatherings face potential fines exceeding $500 under the new regulations.
The legislation was fast-tracked through an expedited process just a day after its introduction. Support came primarily from the ruling Fidesz party and its minority coalition partner, the Christian Democrats.
It’s rather remarkable that Clown World succeeded, even briefly, in openly celebrating sin in this regard. Although I suppose both the Sloth and Gluttony parades were always going to be a bit challenging, while the Autism parade simply never got out of the very, very detailed planning stages. In any event, it’s good to see Clown World being methodically pushed back on every side.
