Well, last Sunday the annual gay parade took place in Hungary... Usual scenario: Hundreds of lgbti people and supporters gathered and marched through the capital, Budapest. Sounds great. Except the racist protesters, who chanted their : fairy,faggot,kill you, go to hell mix and if the police wasn't there - well of course it could gone rough . Acceptance of homosexuality still low in Hungary, the new right-wing government and the strengthening  far-right wing won't help this issue, it's simply getting worse.. 
To be honest it's not good to be an lgbti person in Hungary. And we are members of the EU..  I know there are countries in the EU and outside of it where it's worse than here. But it hurts coz I'm Hungarian and living here.. but never forget those who live threatened by government, and got killed coz of their sexual orientation around the world.
