The war over benches painted in rainbow colors is not subsiding in Hungary. A few rainbow benches were recently repainted in the town of Kecskemet, central Hungary, and rightly so. The Left's great theorists, such as Gyorgy Balvany, columnist of 24.hu and other renowned journalists did not remain silent, doing their best to convince us that the rainbow bench and the rainbow flag represent solidarity, acceptance and such values. They further explain that those who repaint the bench and throw the flag in the bin are plagued by homophobia and who knows what other phobia.
This latter assumption may even be true. However, these counteractions can win the approval of many right-wing people in this country even though they/we do not suffer from prejudices. For the rainbow flag no longer represents for us the sublime values of the left-wing journalists, but has become a symbol of an ideology that is out of touch with reality, sick, exclusionary and aggressive.
Personally, I don't care if a man dresses as a woman, but I've grown tired of the supporters and experts of the LGBTQ movement denying that there is a sexual motivation behind it. A transgender person writhing, dancing and possibly singing on stage as a so-called drag queen wants to appeal to the audience in a sexual sense (too). It is therefore a problem that the trans community actively seeks to involve children in activities that may seem like fun, an opportunity to perform or appear on stage, but these activities are sexually charged. This is why it is problematic that that The New York Times celebrates "drag kids", or that drag queens read stories in kindergartens, and LGBTQ-themed summer camps are organized in North America. Of course, LGBTQ advocates can once again easily brush off the issue saying that America is far away, but due to globalization, these phenomena have come to be spreading at the speed of light compared to previous decades. LGBTQ storybooks have been available in Hungarian for years, and if no legal regulations were in place, they would certainly have been presented in some kindergartens.
