   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.

     @ochaos Florida at least has manatees. I could hug some manatees right about now.

     @TarkabarkaHolgy For a country an old as Hungary, I would have hoped they would have evolved past such BS.

     I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm sure your book will be a success, even though you were unable to share it at the festival.

     @TarkabarkaHolgy Schools and school grounds are prevalent throughout a city. You're seldom more than 200metres from one in any shopping district.

     Lesser Hungary is on a straightline path to even lesserness. Orban is a putz. he Circle of Heroes is ashamed
