LGBT+ music stars Chappell Roan, Emeli Sandé and Alanis Morisette are being urged to pull out of concerts in Hungary to show their opposition to the country’s ban on the annual Pride march, scheduled for 28 June in Budapest.
All three singers have been written to this week by veteran LGBT+ campaigner Peter Tatchell, Director of the Peter Tatchell Foundation. His letter urges:
“We ask you to stand with Hungary’s LGBT+ people by cancelling your performance. If this is not possible, when you are in Hungary we ask you to hold a press conference where you condemn the Pride ban and express support for the LGBT+ community – and do the same on stage when you perform.”
Some of the world’s top singers and film stars are performing in Hungary this year. They include leading LGBT+ celebrities and allies.
Singers with concerts in Hungary include LGBT+ stars: Chappell Roan, Emeli Sande and Alanis Morisette. Plus inumerable allies of the LGBT+ community like Katy Perry, Charli XCX and Nelly Furtado.
Pro-LGBT+ movie stars who will film in Hungary this year include: Keanu Reeves, Kirsten Dunst, Woody Harrelson, Olivia Colman, Dev Patel, Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya and Florence Pugh.
