You Know Things Are Really Messed Up When One Of The Most Outspoken LGBTQ+ Ally Bands (Carson Coma) Has

You know things are really messed up when one of the most outspoken LGBTQ+ ally bands (Carson Coma) has to explain that they appreciate the Pride flag a fan threw onto the stage, but they can't openly show it because they’re afraid of getting fined, or the venue getting penalized.

(They ended up putting the flag on the microphone stand for the last number, which was a pro-LGBTQ+ song called Pók.)

This happened in Hungary. The current government (FIDESZ lead by Orbán) has banned Pride events, claiming that they “corrupt” children (hence the so-called “child protection law”). Now, they’re also trying to shut down independent media.

If you attend Pride, you can be fined up to €497 — which might not sound like much, but considering the average Hungarian salary, it's a significant amount.

Don't judge or hate Hungarians. Most of us don't agree with the current government! We're really hopeful that next year one of the other parties will win, and after 15 years, we'll finally get a new government.

The amendment was tabled on Monday and adopted on Tuesday. Opposition politicians, the organisers and NGOs have said this was a deprivation

And just to lighten the mood, I'll add a song by the band I mentioned. They have songs criticizing the government, but this is the only one I found in English. And also I added the pro-LGBTQ+ song as well (which is in Hungarian, but I also added the English translation)

so, i didn't have the energy to write or draw anything so naturally i spent even more time than it would have taken to write or draw something to make some pinterest boards for the boys!! they're all heavily inspired by beatles members except they're less evil and problematic, and slightly more gay (i say that as if their source material wasn't already quite so, but you know what i mean).
