Culture War in Budapest: 'LGBTQ Propaganda' on Display in Hungarian National Museum is 'Tasteless', Claims Far-Right Mi Hazánk

Opposition Mi Hazánk will submit a bill prompted by “the LGBTQ propaganda” promoted in an exhibition in the Hungarian National Museum, the deputy leader of the party told a press conference, Dóra Dúró criticised the museum for hosting the World Press Photo 2023 exhibition which presents “violence against the LGBTQ+- minority and a beauty contest and talent show in a gay elderly home” among the top stories of last year.

“In the photo series showing the elderly home, the tasteless propaganda promoting gender change has also appeared,” said Dúró.

Mi Hazánk wants provisions of the child protection law which ban access to such content by those aged younger than 18 to apply to cultural institutions run or supported by the state, she said. The party will also turn to the minister in charge of culture in the matter, Dúró added.
