Pro-family Hungarians earn ‘partial victory’ as Coca-Cola pulls LGBT ads

Advocates for marriage and family in Budapest, Hungary, netted an apparent partial victory this week, a report says, after pushing back against controversial pro-LGBT advertisements placed in public locations throughout the Hungarian capital by multinational corporation Coca-Cola.

All but the Irish ad show two men holding hands in what appears to be the end of a same-sex “marriage” ceremony. The ads consist of alternating positive and negative images, culminating in how life is better with Coke. One man is shown playing with a cat, another is shown tripping off a stage, and other people are shown in sporting events, raising money for a cure, and other common situations.
