Was Gaspar Orbán, the son of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, photographed during his honeymoon with his husband? No, that's not true: The photo was taken during a Calvinist religious festival in 2017.
The photo and the claim appeared in a video (archived here) on TikTok on December 12, 2023, under the title (translated from Hungarian to English by Lead Stories staff):
Gaspar Orban. Honeymooners, daddy must be happy.
This is what the post looked like on TikTok at the time of writing:

The photo was taken in 2017 and uploaded to Facebook on July 28, 2017, by Gaspar Orbán. It's a selfie of him and Illes Ember. They took part in the Csillagpont Calvinist Festival in Debrecen, Hungary. In the original photo, you can see that Orbán wears a "presenter" tag around his neck. Gaspar Orbán and Ember are the founders of a Christian youth movement, Felház, that organized events for young believers between 2016 and 2019 in Hungary. The festival's schedule and the list of the artists and presenters are not available anymore. Orbán shared the photo with the description:
Csillagpont Calvinist Festival. Prayers for people, stronger faith, breakthroughs. On earth as it is in heaven!
Nothing signals that the Festival might have been their honeymoon and Gaspar Orbán never claimed that he is married or lives in a same-sex marriage.
