[edit] Contradiciton

Now, the article claims that an impressive 60 % of Hungarians back same sex unions, which would mean that the degree of social progress is downright Western European. In the next paragraph, though, the alleged percentage of acceptance is only 18 % and that seems to be more in accordance with the rest of Eastern Europe's attitude towards gays. Can someone clarify that? Teodorico 06:43, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questionable accuracy

According to this article, Hungary is very gay-friendly. In my experience listening to conversations in the country, it's quite the opposite. On the topic of homosexuality, same-sex adoption, and same-sex marriage, I've only heard strongly negative reactions from Hungarians. Homosexuality is described as "immoral," "outrageous," and "an idiocy." I have no idea where the statement "Hungary is one of the most liberal European societies" comes from, because homophobia appears to be rampant among the general public. This fact is sorely lacking in the article. Hungary cannot be compared to nations like Germany and France, where public opinion polls show a far higher acceptance rate of homosexuality in daily society. — Emiellaiendiay 07:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I completely agree. Info needs to be qualified.--Tdombos (talk) 00:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
