Hungarian anti-gay politician resigns after being spotted leaving massive gay orgy

This one sounded so Onion-y I had to verify that multiple mainstream sources were covering it before I was willing to post it.

Jozsef Szajer, a Hungarian member of the European Parliament and a founder of Viktor Orban's hard-right and aggressively anti-LGBT Fidesz party which currently controls Hungary, has resigned his MEP post after police in Brussels broke up a sex-party he was attending, violating COVID rules.

Jozsef Szajer resigned on Sunday after he admitted to breaching Belgium's strict lockdown rules to attend a sex party, Politico reported on Tuesday. The police found 25 naked men at the gathering, including Szajer and some diplomats, the Belgian newspaper La Dernière Heure reported. The newspaper quoted a local police source as saying, "We interrupted a gang bang." Orban's Hungarian government has curtailed LGBTQ rights since he was elected prime minister in 2010. Szajer, who fronted Fidesz in the European Parliament, helped rewrite Hungary's constitution to "protect the institution of marriage as the union of a man and a woman," The Times of London reported. Szajer, a right-wing politician and ally of Orban, climbed out a first-floor window and was spotted "fleeing along the gutter," the public prosecutor's office said. A source close to the investigation told Politico that officers were called after a complaint about a "night-time disturbance." Authorities said narcotics were found in Szajer's bag. Szajer insisted that he had not taken drugs.

In interviews, Szajer admitted attending what he would not describe as anything other than "a private party", and blamed his decision to attend on "increasing mental strain". He also asked that the public treat the matter as a strictly personal lapse and "not extend it" to Hungary or the Fidesz party.
