A Lithuanian book “Amber heart” (“Gintarinė širdis”) by Neringa Dangvydė contains magical stories for children about people with disabilities, same-sex couples, Roma and other socially vulnerable groups. The Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences that published the collection removed it from bookstores and proclaimed it to be “harmful, primitive and purposeful propaganda of homosexuality”. On top of that, the Lithuanian Office of the Inspector of Journalist Ethics concluded that two fairy tales that promote tolerance for same-sex couples are harmful to minors and should be marked by the index “N-14” (a Lithuanian rating indicating certain media is only for children aged 14 years and up)
