My name is Dorottya Rédai, I work for Labrisz Lesbian Association and I'm the leader of the project A Fairytale for Everyone. First of all, on behalf of LGBTQIA organisations, I would like to thank you for standing up for LGBTQIA people. Thank you for protesting against the ban on the Pride. Thank you for standing with us for years when the regime attacks us. Freedom of speech must be exercised, even when the government won’t listen to us, or when the police try to control who can hear our voices.
Dear friends, allies, and everyone who believes in equality!
We have heard too often that change will come. That one day we will reach a place where everyone counts equally. That one day women’s rights will not be secondary, LGBTQ people will not be scapegoats, and social justice will not be just a campaign slogan...
Dear Alice Weidel,
You are visiting Budapest on 11-12 February to meet Viktor Orbán. Your party, the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), is one of Europe's extreme right-wing parties, which is rejected even by the majority of conservative political forces. The leading politicians of the AfD use national socialist rhetoric, relativise the Holocaust and represent a world in which human rights and social diversity do not exist. The AfD would expel from Germany people fleeing war, natural disasters, poverty and authoritarian regimes. The AfD rejects rainbow families, supports Putin and would have Germany exit the European Union. You are the president of this party. Meanwhile, you are openly lesbian, your partner comes from an immigrant background and the two of you are raising two children.
Great news: The trailer of our film The Second Golden Age – Challenges of Love, edited by Mária Takács, won the Golden Blende Audience Award!
The creative director of the editing was Magdi Timár.
Congratulations and thank you!
