Hungary Bans Public Gayness

Hungary's parliament on Monday passed an amendment to the constitution that allows the government to ban public events by LGBTQ+ communities, a decision that legal scholars and critics call another step toward authoritarianism by the populist government. The amendment, which required a two-thirds vote, passed along party lines with 140 votes for and 21 against. It was proposed by the ruling Fidesz-KDNP coalition led by populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbn.

Freddie Prinze first appearance on Carson (paraphrased): "My parents ... one was Hungarian -- a gypsy -- one was Puerto Rican. I'm a Hungarican. People asked how my parents met. They were picking each other's pockets."
