Hungarian government mounts new assault on LGBT rights
The Guardian (UK) ^ | 11 Nov 2020 | Shaun Walker

Constitutional amendment proposed to enshrine defence of so-called ‘Christian values’

Moments before Hungary entered a second coronavirus lockdown on Wednesday, the far-right government signalled its intention to pass a range of new legislation, including to make it harder for opposition political parties to join forces and to change the constitution to enshrine the defence of so-called “Christian values”.

Opposition politicians criticised both the substance and timing of the moves.

The proposed constitutional amendment, submitted to parliament by the justice minister, Judit Varga, late on Tuesday, is the latest assault on LGBT rights in the country, where legal recognition for gender changes was ended in May.

“Hungary protects children’s right to identify as the sex they were born with, and ensures their upbringing based on our national self-identification and Christian culture,” the amendment states. The constitution already stipulates that marriage must be between a man and a woman, but the amendment says that in a parent-child relationship “the mother is a woman and the father is a man”.

The amendment would ensure that only heterosexual married couples can adopt children. Single people could gain exemptions by special ministerial permission.

They speak of their rights, but what they are angry about is not having access to children.

There is nothing wrong with being gay. No one should be discriminated against because of who they are. In the biblical times they didn’t understand that homosexuals were developed that way, due to hormones and culture. No I’m not gay but have known gays that are not harmful to straight people as portayed in the Bible

(Snip) “..., but what they are angry about is not having access to children.”

Yes. Perverts will be unhappy with anything less than access to kids, including babies if their sexual appetites go that far.

One of many reasons why homosexual acts should have always remained illegal everywhere.

Homosexuals are not developed that way! Their perversion is a learned trait. The Hungarians have it exactly right.

This Constitutional move is to prevent homosexuals from getting special rights other citizens don’t have.

They’ve probably seen what happened here when that happened here.

There is everything wrong with being gay.

As with all unrepentant sin it cuts you off from life forever but in the here and now it also carries an additional danger that may make repentance more difficult than with other sins. Here I’m referring to the way people wrap up their sense of identity with their deviant sexuality. Relatively rare is the thief or liar who thinks of themselves in terms of their specific sin as if it were a vital part of their identity, who they really really are, but when it comes to homosexuality that has apparently become fairly commonplace.

A thief will not on average think a Christian suggesting the need repentance means them giving up a vital part of their very identity ... homosexuals OTOH arguably may.

You’d be nothing! Savages!

Ignoring your own history.

Fag’s argument isn’t with Hungary. Fag’s argument is with God in heaven. He’s the one who said it. Cf. Genesis 19.

So, in other words, common sense.

“They speak of their rights..”

What rights do they deserve over and above what anybody else has? None.

God bless Hungary.

I agree, though, when I saw this: “Wednesday, the far-right government,” I had a problem getting past “The Guardian.”

Does Hungary allow dual citizenship? The Hungarian citizenship law is based on the principles of jus sanguinis ("right of blood" in Latin), meaning that a person acquires Hungarian citizenship by birth from a parent who is a Hungarian citizen. ... Dual citizenship is permitted under Hungarian Law.

Well shit howdy! My parents were still Hungarian citizens when I was born.

The minute I see someone called something *far right*, I know it means someone who supports traditional values.
