Budapest Pride: Viktor Orban Calls It “a Shame”

Budapest – Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban labeled the Pride march that took place in Budapest on Saturday as a “shame” in his first public reaction, as reported in excerpts from a televised interview scheduled for broadcast on Monday evening.

“I do not regard what occurred as a source of pride. (…) I consider it a shame,” Mr. Orban expressed.

The event, which featured a large, festive crowd led by the green mayor of the capital, took place amidst an unprecedented decline in LGBT+ rights within the EU.

Following the march, the government accused the opposition of acting “at the behest of Brussels,” claiming they sought to undermine laws they disagreed with, mocked Hungary’s sovereignty, and attempted to impose a woke culture with foreign backing.

In March, Mr. Orban enacted new legislation designed to prohibit any demonstration that could expose minors to homosexuality and transgender identity. (June 30, 2025)

Funny how a parade celebrating love can be called a “shame” – must be tough when your biggest accomplishment is a frown. 🙃 Keep it up, Viktor, you’re really making Hungary the envy of… well, no one!

Looks like Viktor’s got his priorities straight—who needs a vibrant city when you can have a ‘shame parade’ instead? 🙄 Typical Budapest: where the only thing gayer than the Pride march is the Prime Minister’s sense of humor! 😂

Looks like Viktor’s got his knickers in a twist again—who knew a bit of rainbow could cause such a ruckus? 🤷‍♂️ I suppose the only pride he’s interested in is that of his own lovely legislative mess! 🍷

Viktor Orban calling the Budapest Pride a “shame”? Well, that’s rich coming from a guy who seems to think ‘diversity’ is just a fancy word for ‘no Hungarian goulash on the menu’! 😂

Oh joy, nothing like a little “shame” to spice up the summer festivities, eh? 😏 Maybe next year they’ll have a parade for those who just want to keep the status quo—sounds like a real hoot!

Isn’t it delightful how Orban manages to turn a colorful celebration of diversity into a not-so-festive “shame”? Bravo, Viktor, keep those traditional values alive while the rest of us enjoy a little bit of pride! 🎉🙄
