A Magyar Kцztбrsasбg a jъlius 5-i melegfelvonulбs elleni ocsmбny tбmadбssal morбlis vбlasztуvonalhoz йrt. Ha ez megtцrtйnhet, bбrmi megtцrtйnhet.
Meggyőződйsьnk, hogy ezen esemйnyek mellett egyetlen felelős, demokratikus gondolkodбsъ бllampolgбr sem mehet el szу nйkьl. Megdцbbentőnek tartjuk, hogy 2008-ban Magyarorszбgon, az Eurуpai Uniу tagбllamбban embereknek meggyőződйsьk vagy nemi identitбsuk miatt fizikai йs verbбlis bбntalmazбst kell elszenvediьk.
Az Andrбssy ъton jъlius 5-йn kйt Magyarorszбg vonult egymбssal szemben. Egy agresszнv, sajбt fйlelmeit a mбsik ember elutasнtбsбval, fizikai megsemmisнtйsйvel enyhнteni akarу - hitьnk szerint kisebbsйg, йs a bйkйs, normбlis, nyitott йs tolerбns Magyarorszбg polgбrai. Ez utуbbiak, mi vagyunk tцbben. Mйgis, meggyőződйsьnk, hogy amikor egy frusztrбlt kisebbsйg ilyen minősнthetetlen, agresszнv mуdon lйp fel, terrorizбlja a bйkйs, ьnnepelni vбgyу tцbbsйget, akkor nem a hűvцs elemzйs ideje jцn el, hanem szenvedйlyesen ki kell mondanunk: elйg ebből, ez tűrhetelen. Tűrhetetlen, hogy szйlsősйges csoportok ezt megengedhetik maguknak, tűrhetelen, hogy ъgy йrzik, komoly tбmogatбs бll mцgцttьk.
Szerencsйsnek tartananбnk, ha a politikai rendszer minden szereplője цnvizsgбlatot tartana, hogy az elmъlt йvekben beszйdeivel vagy tetteivel adhatott-e okot arra, hogy azt a szйlsőjobbolodali sцpredйk tбmogatбskйnt йrtelmezze. Ha talбlnak ilyet - йs bizony talбlhatnak - akkor itt az idő, hogy ezektől a rossz mondatoktуl, hibбs lйpйsektől elhatбrolуdjanak. Drбmainak tartjuk, hogy az utcai erőszakot, a szйlsőjobboldali csőcselйk ismйtlődő randalнrozбsбt egyes sajtуtermйkek йs politika erők igyekeznek szalonkйpesnek lбttatni vagy йppen kihasznбlni. Ezek a folyamatok a Magyar Kцztбrsasбg demokratikus, morбlis alapzatбt veszйlyeztetik.
Ezйrt kifejezzьk szolidaritбsunkat mindazokkal, akiket a magyarkodу, nacionalista szelsősйgesek rйszйről fizikai tбmadбs vagy megalбztatбs йrt.
Felhнvjuk a politikai elit tagjait, elemző intйzeteket йs minden jуйrzйsű нrбstudуt, hogy egyйrtelműen nyilvбnнtsбk ki tiltakozбsukat a vandalizmus, a rasszista йs homofуb erőszak miatt. Magбtуl йrtetődőnek tekintjьk, hogy valamennyi parlamenti pбrt csatlakozik nyilatkozatunkhoz.

Summary of the petition in english
Petition against violence!
The Republic of Hungary has reached a dividing line when the gay parade came under obscene attack on July 5th. If this can happen, anything is possible.
We are convinced that no responsible, democratic citizen, can let the events go without saying anything. We are dismayed, that people due to their believes or their sexual orientation have to suffer physical or verbal violence in 2008, in Hungary, a country which is a Member State of the European Union.
On July 5th, on Andrбssy Avenue, two Hungarys were opposite each other. One is in our view a minority that is aggressive, who is trying to ease its on fears, with the rejection, the physical annihilation of others, and on the other side, there were the peaceful, tolerant citizens of Hungary. This latter group, whom we are a part of - are in the majority. Nevertheless, we are convinced that when a frustrated minority, behaves in such an atrocious, aggressive way, by terrorizing the peaceful majority who wishes to celebrate, then it is not the time for a calm analysis. Instead we must declare passionately: this is enough, this cannot be tolerated. It is intolerable, that extremist groups feel that they are allowed to do this, that they feel, they have serious backing.
We feel it would be welcome, if all players in the political system would undergo a thorough self-reflection, whether they in the past decade, said or did anything that the extreme right scum could interpret as being in their support. If one finds anything like this- and certainly one can- than it is time that we distance ourselves from these wrong words, mistaken steps. It is dismal that certain political and media forces try to act as if the street violence, the extreme right scum, were acceptable or usable for their own means. This puts in danger the democratic, moral base of the Republic of Hungary.
Therefore, we state our solidarity with all those who have suffered physical or verbal abuse from the nationalistic, extreme right elements.
We ask all of the members of the political elite, the analyst consultancies, and all the well-meaning reading and writing capable citizens, to clearly state their objection against the vandalism, racist and homophobic violence. We consider it self-explanatory that all parliamentary parties assent with our declaration.
