How is it, that in Hungary in the 21st century, this is even a question?
Even I hesitated when you called me up and asked me to say a few words.
For me it's only natural that I take part in the march, but I still had to stop and think about it for a whole day.
I'm out there at Pride every year, and I will be there this year too —
whenever I can go, I'm there — but even so,
If I speak out, how are people going to respond?
Will I face any any repercussions for it?
Should I censor myself?
And this so wrong and shameful, I think.
So I'll be there this year too, and I really hope there will be a lot of us, and it will be peaceful.
Because this isn't just about gay people,
it's about straight people too — and about this entire country.
Let's finally show an example where this is a party for everyone.
