Coca-Cola is running ads in Hungary that include images of same-sex couples kissing and holding bottles of Coke.

Now the company faces backlash from Hungarian politicians and conservative activists. But Coca-Cola has no plans to backtrack.

At least one leading politician from Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party and conservative media outlets have called for boycotting Coke (KO) products or banning the company’s «Love is Love» ad series.

«The Coca-Cola Company strives for diversity, inclusion and equality in our business, and we support these rights in society as well», a company spokesperson said a statement.
