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

Jun 17 2021

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.

New corgi puppy for Queen Elizabeth after death of dog Fergus

Jun 16 2021

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.
