In November 2022, Orosch questioned the innocence of the two victims of a terrorist attack outside a gay bar in Bratislava.[11] His comments were condemned by Slovakian President Zuzana Čaputová and Prime Minister Eduard Heger among others[11] and he was awarded the Homophobe of the Year prize by the NGO Human Rights Institute.[12] He later apologized for the comments.[11]
