Based Hungary Issues Fine Over LGBTQ Book...
Authorities in Hungary have fined a bookshop chain over a book portraying LGBTQ families, citing a law prohibiting unfair commercial practices.
The book, “Micsoda család! (What a Family!),” is the combined Hungarian translation of two books by American author Lawrence Schimel with illustrations by Elīna Brasliņa and translated by Anna T. Szabó: “Early One Morning,” which features a boy with his two moms, and “Bedtime, Not Playtime!,” which features a girl with her two dads.
With the two books, Schimel and Brasliņa wanted to “offer fun stories that just happen to take place in queer families,” the author told the Daily News. “Because hopefully, queer families spend most of their time doing family things and not only fighting homophobia, and we felt it was important to show that,” he added.
