In a memo to staff, MTV Entertainment Group Worldwide president and CEO Chris McCarthy said the decision “may surprise” those familiar with the law, which rights groups and the EU have criticised.“Instead, we should move forward, using the show as an opportunity to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community in Hungary and around the world as we continue to fight for equality for all.

“I have to be honest with you, as a gay man, my personal emotions got the better of me. After learning this legislation passed, my knee jerk reaction was that we should move the event to another country,” McCarthy said, adding he later consulted with LGBTQ+ advocates.
