Hey all

this is a petition about the Gay Pride in Hungary last weekend. People were beaten up pretty badly, ultra right-wing groups used pavement stones to attack queers. Yesterday an evolutionary biologist, member of the Hungarian Academy, said on radio that homosexuality was like bedwetting: nothing to be proud of but in need of a cure.

Hungary had its first Pride march in 1997, but this year's has had far the worst response. It's like we're moving back in time.

Please consider signing this petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/bss938/petition.html
