The Budapest Government Office on Tuesday ordered a Hungarian publisher to place a disclaimer on books that display patterns of behavior that differ from traditional gender roles after the publisher released a collection of fairy tales featuring LGBT and non-white characters.
The office claimed that the Labrisz Lesbian Association, an advocacy group for lesbian, bisexual and transgender women, had committed dishonest commercial practices by failing to inform potential readers of the contents of its book, Wonderland is for Everyone. Consumers may thus unknowingly encounter content that goes beyond the usual content of fairy tales, and may decide to purchase the book on the basis of misleading information, the office argued.
