Many of the right-wing parties that won big in the European Union elections that concluded on Sunday ran heavily against immigrants and, in many places, LGBT rights. Some of these parties still hold only a small share of their countries' seats, but their numbers could be crucial if the right wants to form an official bloc within the European Parliament.
A joint report by the European branch of the International Gay and Lesbian Association and the European Network Against Racism catalogues 30 incidents of what the groups call "hate speech" from candidates during the election. Here are some highlights:
Hungary's Jobbik Party campaigns against Conchita Wurst.
Hungary's Jobbik party released posters earlier this month in which Eurovision winner, Conchita Wurst, a character of drag performer Tom Neuwirth, is superimposed on an EU flag, facing off against a blond woman before a Hungarian flag. Emblazoned across both images were the words, "You choose!" Following a debate earlier this month, party spokesperson Dóra Dúró said that opposing "bearded women" was a way Jobbik supports a "family-based social construction and national traditional values."
Jobbik won 14.68 percent of the Hungarian vote.
