June brings hundreds of thousands of spectators to the Pride Parade in San Francisco every year. The popular event boasts colorful floats and decorative banners with catchy phrases such as, 'Hate Has No Place Here', 'Beacon of Love' or 'Love Will Keep Us Together' that some 50,000 participants carry as they walk along Market Street.
The marketing campaign by Susan Ford and team show vibrant costumes, an annual theme (Queer Joy is Resistance for 2025) makeup & wigs, painted smiles and lots of rainbow flags. What you don’t see, unless you attend in person or follow independent media such as Tayler Hanson or Savanah Hernandez are the nude adults walking around in front of perplexed children and the “Fetish Zone”, where men urinate on each other in a kiddie pool and perform other sexual acts in public.
It would seem that even those who identify somewhere along the alphabet spectrum know their boundaries when it comes to marketing.
Mainstream media outlets shy away from facts such as the ATF, FBI and Boy Scouts of America participating in the Pride Parade. They also don’t usually report on the San Francisco ordinance which states that public nudity is prohibited except during “any permitted parade, fair, or festival held under a City or other government issued permit.”
This was discovered when an independent journalist asked a San Francisco police officer about nudity in front of children. It would seem that Pride Events, particularly in June in San Francisco offer a literal haven for every form of sexual deviancy, celebrated with balloons, costumes, confetti….and children.
After last year’s Pride Parade, reporter Savanah Hernandez posted on her X account, dated June 30, 2024, “San Francisco pride was the most shocking and disturbing event I’ve ever witnessed. Shame on every parent who brought their child to this event and shame on the city for allowing what could only be described as a giant public orgy.”
Considering this microcosm of progressivism in America, the one that loves to proclaim their tolerance and love for others, (except those who disagree with them) it’s easy to trace the cracks along our nation’s moral foundation. The subversion of the traditional family and the mockery of Christian values, such as the blasphemy displayed by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, endorsed by Major League Baseball, reek of a decaying society.
One need not even endorse a religious belief to understand that a society that degrades and trivializes the traditional family —the one that produces citizens for the future— is on a course of self destruction.
With the mandate America has given in the historic election of Donald Trump, the majority of our population support protecting the innocence of children. This means not indoctrinating them with gender ideology, such as using confusing terms such as “agender”, “non-binary”, or “two-spirit”, holding drag-queen story hour at the public library and pride events that celebrate sodomy and other sexual fetishes. We should be asking why the progressive movement wishes to erode centuries of protections for children and invites them as active participants at misogynistic drag shows and other debased pride events.
Adults are free to make their own choices, but the majority of citizens, including hundreds of thousands of gay Americans, support protecting children and preventing their participation in activities with adult themes. In fact, Gays Against Groomers have often indicated that their justified course to be accepted in society has been hijacked by a Marxist movement under the guise of Progressivism.
Our current administration in the White House would do well to consider the example being set by one of the leading countries in Europe defending traditional families and morality: Hungary.
If we hope to rejoin our nation to any semblance of western values that made us the greatest nation on earth, it is incumbent that we honor the traditional family, Christian principles that guided our Founding Fathers and restore our national identity. Hungary has been consistently working toward these goals in recent years under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the conservative-minded Fidesz Party.
Just this year, Hungary demonstrated their commitment to family by making the largest tax cut in Europe: no income tax for women with at least two children— for life. And mothers with one child will be exempt until the age of 30. Hungary also aids young couples with housing, offering a low interest loan for couples committed to raising children.
In the past few weeks, Hungary passed a law banning Pride marches held by the LGBTA+ community. Mainstream media headlines often highlight the protests, but the stubborn fact is that Orbán is a popular leader in Hungary, having won four consecutive elections since 2010. It would seem that the people of this European nation take joy in their heritage, in family, and wish to protect their children from ideologies that are harmful not only to personal identities, but the nation at large.
Hungary’s Parliament passed a law in 2020 that effectively bans adoption by same-sex couples. According to the law, only married couples may adopt children or single people with special permission from the Family Affairs Minister. Gay civil unions are permitted in Hungary, gay marriage is not and so, this effectively bars same-sex couples from adopting children. The government's legislation honors personhood, but draws the line where personal identities infringe on the sanctity of traditional family and procreation.
In contrast to the popular, yet controversial practice by same-sex couples in America to use surrogacy in order to procure children, thus treating them as commodities, Hungary focuses on family-friendly governance where children are viewed with dignity as the future of the nation. While other countries look to immigration to resolve population decline, Hungary is building from within.
Indeed, their approach to education also reflects that philosophy. Classical instruction has gained traction which imparts elements of the Christian faith alongside Latin, philosophy, history and literature. The arts, too, are promoted on a grand scale at the Hungarian State Opera House in Budapest, (detail of building shown above) one of the leading venues in Europe.
The Hungarian model is not without critics, as demonstrated when their parliament approved a law to ban people who believe they are transgender from changing the gender they were assigned at birth on official documents. Leftist groups and supporters of gender ideology call it “evil” and worry the new law will lead to discrimination against the LGBTQ community. Prime Minister Orbán, however, says it will end legal uncertainty and in no way interferes with adults free right to exercise their identities as they wish.
As the European nation continues to pass and implement legislation to protect children from the harms of gender ideology, the unyielding resolve to uphold their Christian heritage becomes more clear. In an address to the International Conference on the Persecution of Christians in 2019, Prime Minister Orbán stated:
"Here, a thousand years ago, there was the birth of a special Christian cast of mind, and a special Hungarian Christian state. Over the past one thousand years there were times when we left this path, but we always found our way back eventually. This is why the Hungarian Constitution states: “We recognise the role of Christianity in preserving nationhood”. So the Hungarian people and the Hungarian government believe that Christianity can help peoples and nations to survive, as it has helped us.”
Orbán has certainly walked the talk. Hungary is a church-building powerhouse in Europe, continually directing funds to the building of Christian churches not only in their own country, but the Middle East as well.
In 2016, Hungary became the first county to open an office to deal specifically with the persecution of Christians in the Middle East and Europe. And since that time, the country has sent financial support and resources to construct churches and schools for Christian communities in Lebanon and Iraq.
“Hungarians can only survive as Christians, and each new church is a bastion in the nation’s struggle for freedom and greatness.” — PM Viktor Orbán
Since 2010, there have been 150 new churches built and more than 3,000 churches renovated in the country and the Carpathian basin, which are former territories currently inhabited by ethnic Hungarians.*
“I am convinced that today the greatest help in saving Europe can be provided by precisely those people [persecuted Christians] whom we are helping right now. The resistance of those who suffer is the sowing of seed. Today we are giving persecuted Christians what they need: homes, hospitals, schools. And in return we are being given what Europe most needs: Christian faith, love and perseverance.” — PM Victor Orbán , 2019 Address to the International Conference on the Persecution of Christians
President Trump and his cabinet are moving America away from DEI, harmful gender ideology, illegal immigration and the erroneous 1619 Project view of our history, to the gladness of the majority. As this administration reaffirms the authentic history of our Founding Fathers and works to restore the crumbling moral foundation of our Judeo-Christian heritage, will the United States deepen the roots of wisdom and learn from the example of Hungary?
