Child rights activist petitioning against LGBTQ children s book receives brutal threats

A child protection activist has launched a petition against an LGBTQ children s book entitled Fairyland is for All (Meseorszag mindenkie) published recently in Hungary. The activist claims the book is harmful and ill-suited to children, because it openly promotes a certain ideology. She has since received many threats, with someone warning her that "your face will be smashed."

An LGBTQ fairy tale book titled Fairyland is for All (original: Meseorszag mindenkie) – published by the Labrisz Lesbian Association in Hungary in September – has stirred quite an outrage. As pointed out by the Szent Korona (Holy Crown) Radio, liberals have repeatedly argued that emhasizing the conservative views to children is not allowed, and that this book is aimed at their sensitisation, to make them relate to the LGBT ideology.

However, a child protection activist named Eszter Schittl-Zaymus has launched a petition against the book. Her proclaimed objective is to have it removed from bookstores on the grounds that it wants to have children accept homosexuality and promotes transgenderism.

However, the petition has displeased many, including an LGBTQ activist who responded to Eszter Schittl-Zaymus s post promoting the petition by writing, „Careful Nazi slut, because your face will be smashed! I know where you live.”

In an interview with vasarnap.hu, Ms Schittl-Zaymus pointed out that while they are being called oppressors, Nazis and haters, it s actually the other side that is sending out such threats. She also mentioned that she had been branded a Nazi on several occasions and also received physical threats. „Unfortunately, this is what ensues whenever one of our campaigns receives wider media coverage,” she said, adding that it is becoming all the more typical of gender lobbyists that they try and force their views on others.

According to Eszter Schittl-Zaymus, children are entitled to their childhood and they should not be familiarised with the various unnatural sexual preferences of certain grown-ups. If Hungarian society lets this pass without a word of protest and Fairyland is for All remains on the shelves in bookstores, then similar other books will certainly follow. „After the twentieth such children s book , we won t be in a position to do anything about them,” she warns. By now, her petition has been signed by over 67 thousand people.

Dora Duro, vice-president of the Hungarian Our Home Movement party, has also condemned the book. After Ms Duro, a mother of four, had destroyed the book with a shredder in a video posted on social media on Friday, she also received threats similar to those issued to Eszter Schittl-Zaymus, who launched the petition in the first place. The menacing posts main theme was that Ms Duro will also be destroyed or shredded, like the book, and that she should watch her back whenever she steps outside.
