On Monday, the parliament is set to vote on a constitutional amendment that would strengthen the legal foundations for the prohibition of the Pride march. Waving gray flags, including rainbow flags turned monochromatic, more than 10,000 people joined the humourous demonstration with a serious cause in Budapest on Saturday.

there are all the techniques known since 2019 about disabling surveillance cameras
takeaway:-
disrupting the camera itself
1.a) wearing reflexes around your head
1.b) shining blinding lights into the cameras -
disrupting the gen AI calculations
2.a) shining small infra-red lights onto your face, which makes you appear as someone else completely
2.b) wearing face patterns all over your clothing
2.c) wearing pins which make the AI hallucinate once processing the pin’s image -
disrupting the recognition of personhood
3.a) goggles or glasses to cover eyes & nose region of face, where the most data points are.

Fuck yea. Now take down that piece of shit prime minister.
I’m constantly amazed that people are still fighting this fight in the world. Here in the UK I’m getting fed up of regular pride marches because I’m pretty sure “they won” like the fight should be over. Apart from a handful of bigots but there’s no stopping that.
It’s crazy to me that this is still an actual thing in some parts of the world. What century is this?
queer rights don’t stop at marriage equality. we’re never gonna “win” as long as people reduce LGBTQIA+ to only the LGB rights
Pride is also not really about who “won” or “lost.” It’s a celebration of the culture and a reminder of the struggles of the past. Plenty of groups hold parades around the US for similar reasons.
And even without that it should continue to ensure visibility. So that a kid from a small village with five age peers knows that they might be the odd one out in their village, but they’re not alone. A place large enough to have a parade is large enough to have a (semi-)dedicated bar, and vice versa.
Except they didn’t win, and lgbt laws frequently slide back. You just don’t like gay people.
In 2021, the UK government urged its departments to withdraw from Stonewall UK’s Diversity Champions program, citing cost concerns. However, critics argued that this move was motivated by opposition to Stonewall’s support for trans rights, signaling a potential shift away from institutional support for LGBT inclusivity.
When you loosen your grip, sand slips away one grain at a time.
you just don’t like gay people
I think I’ve been misunderstood here.
I’m getting fed up of regular pride marches because I’m pretty sure “they won” like the fight should be over. Apart from a handful of bigots but there’s no stopping that.
Not sure how else this is suppose to be interpreted. Even if it’s just a handful of bigots, those bigots have the resources to signal boost themselves and have the ears of politicians.
I sort of meant that I was unaware of any systemic issues that could still be fought for here.
I’ve never even been to the UK and I know that’s wrong.
For starters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-transgender_movement_in_the_United_Kingdom
Also, just see who J. K. Rowling keeps company with.
Things going on in the USA right now should be a reminder that just because there are gains, that doesn’t mean they can’t be reversed. Continued celebrations highlighting visibility are still needed, outside of just the fact that they’re also just allowed to celebrate their community.
When we have elected members of parliament having made homophobic comments on camera, the fight is far from over.
Here in the UK I’m getting fed up of regular pride marches because I’m pretty sure “they won” like the fight should be over.
That’s extremely ignorant, especially in the UK where trans people are treated so poorly a woman has been granted asylum in New Zealand over it.
1 in 5 LGBT being the victim of a hate crime
Holy fuck why does that never get a mention? That’s actually shocking.
Maybe you’re not being told for some sort of specific reason that may or may not end with -phobia. Might make you want to re-think whether “they won” or not.
Edit: Also Pride happens once a year, maybe get over it? This is the same energy as the Americans that want to end Black History Month. Do you tell your mom you’re tired of Mothers Day?
If they report ever being on the receiving end of a slur, that counts. Kind of like the “x% of women will be sexually assaulted”, technically I (male) would also report as being sexually assaulted because one time a girl grabbed my ass in passing at a party. It’s a very broad category.
If someone grabbed my ass at a party, I would count that as sexual assault. Idk what ur going for here, just cuz you don’t mind doesn’t mean it shouldn’t count
Yeah that’s my point. It is counted as sexual assault, and that broad definition is what makes the number so high, just like the “1 in 5” figure we were talking about. When the criteria are so broad, it shouldn’t be that shocking.
