GAY TRUTH

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. Provocative and suggestive photos of same-sex couples closely sharing a Coke, along with rainbow-themed advertising stating, “Love is love” and containing slogans such as “Zero Sugar, Zero Prejudice,” were displayed in Coca-Cola ads beginning earlier this month in train stations and at bus stops in Budapest. The ad campaign coincided with the week-long Sziget music festival, held each year in early August in northern Budapest and expected to draw more than half a million people. A petition established August 2 by CitizenGO Hungary went viral, according to the petition platform’s associated online family advocacy site HazteOir, and had more than 41,000 signatures by press time. It came amid varied i...

One of the most influential conservative philosophers in the Western World may soon be out of a job.  Sir Roger Scruton was tapped by the UK Housing Secretary on Saturday to chair a government  committee  whose purpose is to champion beautiful buildings. Almost immediately after news of Scruton’s appointment broke, several Labour MPs began calling for his removal from the non-salaried post, claiming he has a history of making “offensive” homophobic remarks. Scruton, who has taught at Princeton, Oxford and St. Andrews, among other places of higher learning, is 74 and has authored more than 30 books on topics ranging from art and architecture to literature and music. He received the Czech Republic’s Medal of Merit in 1998 for having fought against communism in Eastern Europe in the 1980s. In 2016, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for services to philosophy and education. Currently, he serves  as  a senior fellow at the D.C.-based Ethics and Public Pol...

The European Union is threatening sanctions against the largely-Christian nation of Hungary to force it to fall in line with liberal beliefs, including the supposed legitimacy of same-sex “marriage” and fictional right of Muslim migrants to walk into any country they wish. “The European Commission is using the tools we have, launching infringement procedures against countries that don't respect EU law.” I “am in harmony with today's decision,” Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, reportedly said. It's an unprecedented move. The 28-state political and economic union’s parliament has never voted to slap sanctions like this on any of its member states until now. Two-thirds of the Members of the European Parliament have already backed the censure motion. In the European Parliament, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called the threat of sanctions “blackmail.” “We will not support immigration and migrants against the better judgment o...

The so-called “Easter constitution”  adopted  in the post- Communist country last May was a major shakeup for Hungarian politics and an outrage to progressive EU ideology: the document not only supported marriage but declared that the unborn child deserves protection from the moment of conception, and even made special mention of Christianity as lying at the heart of the country’s identity. The document’s discussion of human rights also does not mention sexual orientation, another break from EU priorities. The Hungarian daily Magyar Nemzet   claimed  this week that the EU would move to drop financial aid to Hungary...
