Hungary’s government chided the publisher of a children’s book that includes a lesbian Cinderella for not warning readers of content referring to non-traditional gender roles.
The book, titled Wonderland is for Everyone, recasts protagonists of traditional fairy tales into members of groups that often suffer discrimination, including gays and Roma. It was thrust into the national spotlight last year after a far-right politician shredded the book on camera.
