BUDAPEST PRIDE TURNED U-G-L-Y!!!

In a previous post, I was talking about Bomb threats happening in Budapest due to the festivities of Pride. Well it seems like it did turn quite ugly during their pride festival this past Saturday. 45 people were taken into custody and 10 others were injured during the parade. It seems that the community still has some far steps to take before they will be able to parade like that do here in Canada or the U.S. Its a shame really. Read below:

About 450 people took part in the march in central Budapest when extremists began throwing explosive devices, eggs, cobblestones and bottles at police and the marchers.

Police seized chemicals and Molotov cocktails from a six-member group waiting for the demonstrators in an uninhabited flat along the route of the march.

Liberal member of Parliament Gabor Horn was hit and a police car carrying former undersecretary Gabor Szetey -- the first openly gay Hungarian politician -- and member of the European Parliament Katalin Levai was also attacked, Hungarian news agency MTI reported.

Three media trucks were damaged by protesters.

Police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the extremists gathering around the fenced-off marchers in Heroes' Square. The demonstrators could leave the scene in a corridor leading to an underground station. [SOURCE]

BOMB ATTACK ON GAYS IN BUDAPEST

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but this is just ridiculous. I don't understand all the hate in the world. This comes from Budapest a few days before the Gay Pride Parade being held this Saturday:

(Budapest) For the second time in less than a week a gay business has been firebombed.

Police said that one person was injured Wednesday night when Molotov cocktails were thrown into a gay sauna in the Hungarian capital. Last Friday a similar attack occurred at a gay bar.

Police said that one person was injured in Wednesday's attack. There were no injuries in the bombing on Friday.

Wow.. Nuts eh? It seems like Police officials were not in favour for the parade at first but have given the ok for now to continue with the festivities. However, Budapest officials have given far right group permission to stage a protest against LGBT community this Saturday... A Little ironic no?? Its like they are saying yes do the parade but don't come screaming if there is a lot of protests going on.. Keep Reading:

The group, Rendszervalto, has posted on its Web site an appeal for "Hungarian patriots" to go to the counter march.

"We will not tolerate foreign perverts of whatever color forcing their alien and sick world onto Hungary," the posting said. It called for "healthy and morally acceptable people" to show that Hungary 's future can only be secured by "productive pair relationships, reproducing and well-functioning families". [SOURCE]

Well i hope someone comes in and intervenes because this is getting out of hand. When people are being blown up because of their sexuality then we have a problem.. Wait.. let me rephrase that.. people being blown up.. period.. should not be tolerated at all!!
