Hungary passes new homophobic laws

Those people are so racist against Eastern Europe. Not the first time here I saw some users talking bad about it.

Do you think it's unfair that some people stereotype some nationalities as intolerant now because of the actions of some in government there? True I can imagine it feels unfair to those people who oppose the laws. But it's interesting to see your empathetic considerate side come out only now in support of eastern Europeans. You don't also find it unfair to see posters on here supporting punishment and alienation of all LGBT people allegedly due to some irrelevant comments made by a specific select few members of the lgbt community?
Wow, seems majorly hypocritical !

You are mixing a lot of things together here. The Hungarian government has been doing more and more to curtail the rights of many people. The government are self serving and rule by fear. This is one of their many tactics.

Do you think children should be taught about astralgender or not?



.

Do you actually think they will be actively taught about astralgender (I've never heard of this and again, bet most haven't, including teachers)
You're picking tiny , tiny cases of something to try prove a point.

They don't learn about the minute details of any of the subjects they already learn.

You're being disingenuous with this because you know full well they won't be sitting down with a teacher going in depth about every tiny aspect of gender studies or anything even close. They'll get a very broad outline of sex education as they already do and an acknowledgement that some people self identify in different ways.

If a kid brings it up themselves then it means they have heard about it independently and are thinking about it themselves so a teacher is not going to have any more info for them other than to most likely repeat that "other people self identify as different things and that's ok"

Plenty of Polish and eastern people are proud of their culture and feel strong about it.

Calling hating other people a "culture" doesn't make it right.

Thats the thing. I dont believe this hatred of LGBT people and indeed refugees and migrants could realistically be called Eastern European Culture.

Hatred. Grrr. Angry Hungarians

When you look at the place Western Europe wound up, with kids being fed puberty blockers and women being told that the definition of "woman" is now "human" Hungarians are probably thinking "nip this in the bud".

They've probably thrown the baby out with the bathwater but time will tell.

:rolleyes:
How many kids do you know on puberty blockers, even one? How many women do you know describe themselves as human rather than woman? And who has told women to think that, any actual authority or are you claiming some hardline lgbt twitter group apparently rule the roost now. You're hysterical beyond belief. 'Look where Western Europe ended up', where? Seems like a great part of the world to live in for the most part, and attracting people from all over the world still as place to live. I wonder if there's more immigrants coming into Western Europe from HUngary, or vice versa? Or are most of us planning an exodus to HUngary now because all these recent changes are just so enticing and great.
Yeh, what Hungary did won't lead to anything good, or any positive change for anyone, it'll only serve to isolate gay people, which is exactly why the bill was proposed, not to help children, it's pretty ****ing transparent.

Exactly. Covid aside, as far as I can tell anyone who can leave Hungary for good, are.. even to the 'draconian' west of Europe that certain quarters would have you believe.

Thats what this is. Hatred. It is suggesting that LGBT people are child abusers. It is criminalising discussion that LGBT people exist. This is hatred and persecution. Its worse than Thatchers shameful section 28. We saw that shameful law eventually go into the dustbins of history.

It's that and more. When you look into it it's written in quite an ambiguous way... So if anyone writes about anything gay related (such as the reporting of the infamous Jozsef Szajer - look him up if you don't know him!) then expect to be charged.

I'm expecting other European countries to adopt a similar approach in the next few years.
A good way to avoid countries form become extremely anti-LGBT would be for LGBT to have a more tolerant approach towards non-LGBT

Same thing goes with all this gender stuff too...

I will be slated for saying there are only 2 genders or sexes...but that's what the science says...

If you produce sperm you are male, if you wanna wear a dress and makeup, drive on and do what makes you happy, but it doesn't make you a female

I don't think you will be slated, but your assertions aren't necessarily based in science. Not when it comes to mixing gender and sex, but that's a while different thread I guess.

Nope. Very definitely not based in science

and in threads like this, you see the disturbing opinions of boards.ie , that in this case , seem to be in the majority.
Bear in mind , this is based near dublin castle, near garda hq, masonic attitude to anything outside their blinkered smallminded view of life.
Its depressing for sure .
Very macho , so insecure in their maleness they have to shut down and attack anything that frightens them, ie LGBQT and women.
fully expecting to get expelled

Agreed. It is very disturbing to see some people on this site more or less support the law. It is really a hate charter against LGBT people and yes unfortunately some on here are ok with that.

I think what's even worse than the support is the slimey underhanded insinuations that it is the behaviour of LGBT which led to this happening and that gay people are directly responsible for being treated so poorly because of that. Gaslighting on top of discrimination

I know right. The attitude of some is "well they didnt behave themselves so they deserve this". Agreed. Disgusting attitude.
