Austrian LGBTQ Propaganda Targets Even Kindergarteners
A bookshop in Vienna’s largest shopping mall sells so-called sensitizing storybooks about homosexuality and same-sex relationships, alongside other books, publications, and gifts promoting homosexual relationships. These LGBTQ-themed storybooks are recommended for children as young as four.
In the Vienna hopping centre, visitors can’t help but stumble upon LGBTQ propaganda. At the entrance to one bookshop, there is an entire counter filled with ‘rainbow’ books, gifts, storybooks and comics.
One such storybook, published in 2017 and also available at the bookshop, is recommended as follows:
„Two daddies! How is that possible?” – The story of Roy and Silo shows that it is not a problem at all. The two penguins live in the Manhattan Zoo and have known each other since birth. They show no interest in female penguins. The zookeepers observe the pair building a nest for a penguin egg. By chance, a female penguin abandons her egg, and Roy and Silo hatch it. After Tango is born, it becomes clear that even two fathers can form a family.
The recommendation adds:
Edith Schreiber-Wicke and Carola Holland have managed to retell a real-life penguin love story in an appealing way, with affectionate illustrations. The picture book addresses homosexuality and introduces children to family structures that differ from the traditional mother-father-child family.
This recommendation appears on the Lit4School website , which describes itself as:
Lit4School is a non-profit literary and media database for German and English language teaching, developed by the English Department of the ZLS, a central institution of the University of Leipzig, and jointly maintained by members of the ZLS, the Institute of German Studies, and the Institute of English Studies.
„Something that should already be normal in the 21st century”
Another illustrated storybook is Raffi and His Pink Tutu by Riccardo Simonetti. The story is about a boy who wears a pink tutu, “loves football, and ignores traditional gender roles.”
„Something that should already be normal in the 21st century, but still often causes confusion among children (and adults!),”
wrote kinderjugendmedien.de, a portal that describes itself as a scientific platform for children’s and youth media.
The story in the book goes as follows: Raffi has lots of toys, including books, art supplies, a train set, a doll, and a pink tutu. He also loves football and enjoys playing tea party with his sister. He usually wears the tutu only at home, but one day, despite his sister’s protest, he bravely decides to wear it to school. The other kids mock and laugh at him, especially Leo, who “doesn’t want anything to do with the others’ childish nonsense.” Raffi is deeply hurt, but his father supports and encourages him:
„Don’t let other people’s opinions stop you from being yourself.”
So Raffi continues to wear the tutu at school in the following days. When his father comes to pick him up, he too is wearing a pink tutu. This makes Raffi very happy, as he greatly admires his dad. The other children’s negative reactions begin to fade, with the exception of Leo, who still bullies Raffi. Leo thinks Raffi is a loser because of the tutu and takes photos of him with his mobile phone. But Raffi’s friends now support him.
Recommended from age four
A review of the picture book states:
This book that challenges stereotypes, in doing so, reconstructs difference instead of dissolving the artificially created heterogeneity imposed by society.
It continues:
„Raffi and His Pink Tutu is suitable for reading aloud to children aged four and up, or even younger depending on their level of development. At the end of first grade, it can also be used for independent reading, as it contains a longer, coherent story that requires some prior knowledge to understand (e.g., gender stereotypes). The book deals with stereotypes in a way that is appropriate for the age group and encourages children to accept diversity and difference as something positive. Accordingly, it can also be used for activities related to the topic in the later stages of kindergarten and in first and second grade. „
The author of the book is clearly proud of his work, according to a previous Instagram post.

LGBTQ propaganda almost the norm in Vienna
As previously reported, while Vienna struggles with a record budget deficit, the city’s leadership continues to channel increasing funds into LGBTQ projects. The liberal administration in Vienna has more than doubled LGBTQ spending in the Austrian capital.
In 2024, the city’s education and youth committee allocated approximately 1.04 million euros to LGBTIQ projects, marking a 158 per cent increase compared to 2023.
The city of Vienna financed this year’s Pride parade with more than 650 thousand euros in public funds. This year’s event was not just about self-promotion: anti-Christian provocations were made, radical left-wing slogans were chanted, and communist organizations also put in an appearance.
