Hungary’s second-largest bookstore said it plans to take legal action after it received a hefty government fine for the sale of an LGBT-themed British webcomic and graphic novel aimed at teenagers without closed wrapping
A Budapest government office on Thursday imposed a fine of 12 million forints on Lira, saying it broke the law by selling British author Alice Oseman’s “Heartstopper,” among other books for minors, without wrapping them in plastic foil. The popular “Heartstopper” series, in which two gay teens fall in love, has also been adapted by Netflix as a romantic comedy-drama.
The measure was seen as resonating with Orban’s conservative voters in the countryside ahead of his fourth-term election win in 2022. The European Commission, however, referred Hungary to the EU Court of Justice, claiming the law “discriminates against people on the basis of their sexual orientation and gender identity,” Nyary said the law was vague at several points.
