On June 28, CitizenGO and several conservative organizations are organizing a demonstration in Kossuth Square to defend Christian values against LGBTQ ideology and Pride events. According to the organizers, they want to convey a message of “normality and morality” instead of a “culture of debauchery,” reported Napi Téma.
With the demonstration, dubbed “anti-Pride,” the organizers want to take a clear stand against the European Union’s “globalist values,” which they say provide a breeding ground for the advancement of “gay propaganda and gender ideology.”
CitizenGO has been actively involved in such movements for years: last year they demonstrated in front of the CEU during a rainbow conference, and this year they submitted a five-point demand to the government, calling for a ban on LGBTQ organizations and Pride events.
Conservative movements believe that “anti-Pride” is more timely than ever. They argue that the European Union has “crossed every red line” by treating public marches by sexual minorities as official values, while Member States – including Hungary – are finding it increasingly difficult to take meaningful action against them.
Although the Hungarian Government has passed a law that would allow Pride events to be banned, organizers say that the police have so far been unable to make a legally sound decision that would be acceptable to the Supreme Court. CitizenGO fears that if the event is held, it will be a “moral stain” not only on Hungary, but on Europe as a whole, and could mark the beginning of a “transhumanist era.” According to the organizers, foreign politicians, mainly from Western Europe, may also attend this year’s Pride event to demonstrate their support.
The CitizenGO protest will take place on June 28, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. at Kossuth Square, near the statue of former Prime Minister Gyula Andrássy. The organizers welcome anyone who stands up for “Christian morality” and the “sanctity of the family.”
