Hungary’s new anti-LGBT law turns heads ahead of 2022 election

Jun 17 2021 Share

Hungary has just passed a new law prohibiting the distribution of knowledge about homosexuality and gender transitioning amongst school children younger than 18 years of age and in advertising.

The new law and nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban have faced strong criticism from other parties and human rights groups for the passing of this law in addition to the country’s already-radical social policy.

Hungary already does not recognise gay marriage and only allows the adoption of children from heterosexual couples, triggering worldwide criticism and creating a divide in Hungary for Orban’s self-styled ‘illiberal regime’.

Christian fundamentalist and gay conversion therapy advocated Matthew Grech was quick to praise such a law, arguing that Malta should follow suit.

Singer Jennifer Lopez and movie star Ben Affleck have rekindled their romance as a new video obtained by Page Six shows the couple sharing a kiss in public. Speculation of the return to romance began in May after the pair went on holiday together in Montana. Lopez and Affleck (a.k.a. Bennifer) were one of Hollywood’s most famous couples back in the early 2000s, before the relationship came to an end in January 2004.

New corgi puppy for Queen Elizabeth after death of dog Fergus

New corgi puppy for Queen Elizabeth after death of dog Fergus
Jun 16 2021 Share

The 95-year-old monarch of England Queen Elizabeth has been gifted a 6-week-old corgi from her son Prince Andrew and his daughters. The puppy was allegedly gifted the dog on Thursday, which would have marked late Prince Philip’s 100th birthday. The new pet comes into the family following the passing of one of the two new puppies given to her whilst Prince Philip was in the hospital.

Fergus, named after her late uncle, joined the family with Muick who is named after a favourite spot of the Queen’s near Balmoral Castle. It was initially thought that the queen did not want any more dogs – in part because it risked her tripping over one of them and also because she did not want to leave any young dogs behind. The queen has another dog named Candy.

Paul Pogba mirrors Ronaldo by removing Heineken bottle during conference

Paul Pogba mirrors Ronaldo by removing Heineken bottle during conference
Jun 16 2021 Share

Following the internet breaking moment in which Portugese player Cristiano Ronaldo removes Coca-Cola bottles during a press conference, France’s Paul Pogba mirrored the act by removing a bottle of Heineken. This, however, occurred for slightly different reasons as Pogba removed the bottle for religious reasons, as Muslims are forbidden from drinking alcohol.

The 28-year-old is another star to take a stance against one of Euro’s sponsors following the Ronaldo incident. Pogba, a devout Muslim, made the religious pilgrimage to Mecca along with Kurt Zouma back in 2018. Fans also criticised tournament staff for putting the beverage in front of Pogba in the first place and therefore the player cannot be blamed for the gesture.
