So, I showed up to my book launch at the literary festival today. Telling Greek and Roman myths, appropriately dressed because why not :)

Then I was told 3 minutes before stage time that... my #mythology book is not being sold at the festival.

Because... by Hungarian law, you can't sell #lgbtq content within 200 meters of a school.

So 8pm, at an adult literary event, I couldn't actually sign. Greek mythology. Because there is a school building nearby.

I am so sorry. This is terrible, awful and an insane abuse of power.

I hope your release went well, even so. Maybe this even showed people how ridiculous this kind of propaganda and government is.

I do hope for the best and wish Hungary a better future.
