Czech Labor and Social Affairs Ministry distances itself from Prague Pride

The Czech Labor and Social Affairs Ministry has distanced itself from Prague Pride, which supports members of LGBT+ minorities, following criticism of the event by the ultra-conservative Alliance for the Family. According to Deník N, the ministry asked for the removal of its logo from the Prague Pride website after the Alliance for the Family publicly questioned its support for the event pointing out that the ministry is led by Christain Democrat Marian Jurečka.

The Alliance for the Family has lobbied against marriage for same-sex couples and has repeatedly spread disinformation about the LGBT+ community, including the view that homosexuality is a disease that should be treated.
