Activist Viktória Radványi is fighting for Budapest Pride amid anti-LGBTQ+ legislation ⤵️

where she said, with derision, ‘Children … are being taught that they have the inalienable right to be gay.’”, which really caused a huge close down of queer civil society in Russia. Our Russian partners constantly have to battle with that in order to be able to do their work,” Beard continues. “It's a long, long lineage. There's a long history. It works. It works because there are people in the middle.

“Already, like, government officials are making comments about, ‘Hmm, MTV might be provoking the Hungarian government,’” Viktória laughs. “Like, yes. They made it quite clear.” Meanwhile, Viktória’s work and that of her colleagues at Budapest Pride has continued on. She cares deeply about the organizational structure, and making sure Budapest Pride is as feminist and anti-racist as they declare it to be on paper.

“What's really, really crucial for social justice movements, especially for those who work in hostile environments, is not to embrace this idea that your results define you, or your productivity define you,” she says. “Because there's so many things that need to be done that can really burn you out very quickly. That means you have to let a lot of things go. It's also very hard not to normalize this level of hate and smear campaigns that we're getting.
