Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to get married. He traveled to seventeen countries, but he did not find his true mate. On the way, he came to a country ruled by the evil seven-headed dragon. The prince faced him bravely, but the dragon spewed fire and wanted to destroy him. A knight in shining armor rushed to his aid, and together they finally managed to defeat the evil dragon. When they looked into each other's eyes, the prince felt that he had found true love in the brave knight.
They struck gay weddings for seven countries, and they are still alive today... because their time has come. The author of the tale managed to hit the note that was missing from the classic tale: tolerance, diversity. He wrote a real LGBTQ fairy tale, which, according to the book's recommendation, sensitizes children towards rainbow families and gay marriage. The fairy tale is recommended for parents, kindergartens and lower grades of schools from the age of four.
This fairy tale is not from the Hungarian fairy tale book Meseország ekcikyés, although it could be in it. Because in mid-March, the Stern magazine published in German the storybook that had been banished from Hungarian bookstores and provoked Hungarian taste. The timing was deliberate, two weeks before the child protection referendum, they also tuned the German public opinion. The publication of the book was reported on by every independent German newspaper and media, and the review was supplemented with reports on the homophobic Hungarian government and the populist right-wing politics that rejects tolerance. They broadened the anti-Hungarian theme.
Searching for the book, I found a sensitizing storybook for bouquets in Amazon's offer, from a teenager coming out in front of her classmates in a pink tulle skirt to two boy penguins who adopt a baby penguin to the story of little Anna, whom everyone, even her parents, called Paul, because no one but her knows that she is actually a girl. A girl because she feels like one. The latter was translated into Hungarian by Deutscher Verlag under the title The most beautiful dress in the world and made available online for Hungarian children. If only the evil Orbán and the homophobic Hungarian legislature will deny them modern fairy-tale literature! The translation was not a great art, because the book rather tells the story of a child born as a boy, raised as a boy, but eventually becoming a girl, with drawings.
At the end of the parliamentary election campaign, the war raging next door diverted our attention from the child protection referendum, not much was said about it beyond the posted posters. The presenting government was sure that the four questions asked could not be voted yes on the basis of normal thinking. The questions themselves were surreal if you didn't know the background of things. Because who would think of holding a session with sexual content or showing sexual orientations for kindergarten and elementary school children, or encouraging children to change their gender. How can such questions even be asked, and who would answer yes to such a question? This situation is not practical for us.
The government did not take Amnesty International's Invalid Referendum campaign seriously. The NGO, which is concerned about Hungarian democracy and belongs to the Open Society Foundation, urged its followers to take action that tramples democracy. "Vote invalid, because this is a propaganda referendum, a direct continuation of the government's previous homophobic and transphobic policy, which sacrifices people's safety and well-being for its own political goals. Let's abolish the propaganda law!" Amnesty activists have also provided guidance on how to do this.
It was not mandatory to participate in the referendum, and those who did not agree with putting the topic before the public could use the democratic right to abstain. A third of the voters exercised this right. This would have made the referendum still valid, since rejection of the questions raised, i.e. yes votes, are considered a valid vote. 7.6 percent of the voters, two hundred and seventy thousand people, voted yes, i.e. they supported the institutionalized sexual influence of young children.
Twenty percent of the respondents, more than one and a half million people, deliberately defaced the ballots. My acquaintances who counted votes told me about the obscene, disgusting drawings scrawled on the ballot paper by voters who considered themselves to be cultured people. Someone took a picture of him and then proudly shared it on the social network, let the world see that he is not a homophobic Hungarian! The number of invalid votes is roughly the same as the number of votes cast for the opposition coalition. It was a protest vote, they slavishly followed the position of their parties. They managed to cross me on this issue at least. For Fidesz?
Government policy? The ladies and gentlemen were wrong, they crossed themselves and the country. Because believe it or not, it's not a created fake problem, gender dictatorship knows no boundaries, and we don't even notice how it insidiously infiltrates our everyday lives. The Hungarian Child Protection Act, which is only labeled as a homophobic law in the EU, does not exclude, but rather protects. It protects children's right to preserve their birth gender and protects them from pornography that depicts sexuality for its own sake and content that promotes gender reassignment. Which, let's face it, is really not for children. It will also protect the children of invalid voters. The adult is different, his heart has the right to live as he wants. It would be so nice if people knew the text of the law and did not listen to the instructions of agitators!
Not so long ago, an international event was held at the Mathias Corvinus Collegium about the values we raise our children according to. Specialists came from America and the western part of Europe to tell us where the developed world is today and what cancel culture means. It was amazing to listen to the psychiatrists and university professors who were speaking, because everything that we don't believe could exist at all, that we only hear purposeful propaganda against otherness in this country, is already an existing reality there.
Gender ideology and the realization of gender diversity are part of everyday life there. This ideology, headed by woke, questions all traditional values. Value destroyers practice cultural dictatorship with their unscientific theories. Let's realize that gender, LGBTQ, is a political movement and its real goal is to transform society! Here in Eastern Europe, we have already been part of a social experiment, which is why we are more suspicious.
My friends in Germany were dismayed to learn of the invalidity of the referendum. Because only in Hungary can people decide on the upbringing of their children. They, European citizens, have never been asked anywhere. There, gender ideology leaks freely, and the luminaries in Brussels, Berlin, anywhere in Europe make decisions above their heads, even amending their Basic Law, if the progressive interest so desires.
The bill that would supplement Article 6 of the Basic Law (on the family) with the constitutional rights of children, including their right to become an independent person and even to a court hearing, is already on the table of the Bundestag. Let's taste what this means! The right of a minor child to make independent decisions in matters affecting him, and he can even report his parents if they do not allow their child to do something.
In the child protection referendum in Hungary, people living according to European traditions saw a European cause! Precedent that LGBTQ madness can be stopped. Despite the invalidity, the example was set, three and a half million people supported the government, seven hundred thousand more than those who voted for Fidesz anyway.
