I remember my very first meeting with a senior Hungarian official, a really nice guy, but he began the meeting by saying, Ambassador, I know that you want to speak to us about L.G.B.T.Q. issues and gender ideology. And I actually had to interrupt the guy and say, No, actually, I want to speak to you about your relationship with Vladimir Putin. So I think that the language that they used was to encode the critique in a frame of, “This is L.G.B.T.Q.” — in their words — “ideology infecting our society,” even if what was generating the legitimate political concern didn’t have much to do with L.G.B.T.Q. issues at all.</p></blockquote><p><a href="https://convo.casa/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/fascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fascists</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/hungary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hungary</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/orban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>orban</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/cpac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cpac</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/gop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gop</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/tuckerCarlson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tuckerCarlson</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/charlieKirk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>charlieKirk</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/projectVeritas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>projectVeritas</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/peterBoghossian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>peterBoghossian</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/peteBoghossian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>peteBoghossian</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>propaganda</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/homophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homophobia</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/antilgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antilgbtq</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/antiwoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antiwoke</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/kkk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kkk</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/bigotry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bigotry</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a></p>
