Hungary's government orders disclaimers on books with gay content. - NBCOUT

BUDAPEST - Hungary's government, which has made hostility to LGBTQ people a central part of its right-wing agenda, ordered a publisher on Tuesday to print disclaimers identifying books containing"behavior inconsistent with traditional gender roles."

The government said the action was needed to protect consumers from being misled, after Labrisz, a Lesbian group, published a fairytale anthology,"Wonderland Is For Everyone," which included some stories with gay themes. The book, whose authors say it is intended to teach children to be respectful of people of all backgrounds, features a tale of a doe who is granted a wish to become a buck, and a poem about a prince who marries another prince.

Other stories depict minorities in a positive light, including Roma and disabled people. The character Snow White, renamed Leaf Brown, has dark skin. "The book is sold as a fairytale, called so on its cover and designed accordingly, but it hides the fact that it depicts behavior inconsistent with traditional gender roles," the Government Office in Budapest said in a statement.

NBCOUT The people in general in Hungary are very unfriendly. So, no wonder they voted for this ogre.

NBCOUT I love this country HongrieenFrance

NBCOUT The move to require a disclaimer was triggered by a children's book which conservatives claim is pro-LGBTQ propaganda masquerading as a fairytale. This is f'd up, but I would be very surprised if their aim is to add a sticker to every book ever written that includes gay content.

NBCOUT Good for them!
