- ^ Steve Rothaus (July 3, 2008). "Amid petrol bomb attacks, 400 police committed to gay beauty pageant in Budapest". Gay South Florida. "While gay activists in Budapest are complaining that the police are not protecting gay businesses in the city, the organisers of Mr Gay Europe have announced they will have "400 policemen and women to protect them during the final." Two gay venues have been attacked with petrol bombs in the last week... Organisers said: "The police will protect the Mr. Gay Europe final with a 400 men strong force." The militant protesters have put up a web page with names and addresses of all gay venues in Budapest and already two bars have been attacked with fire bombs."
