In Magyar Narancs, András Gerevich recalls that he has lived two parallel lives for a long time, as a traumatized closet gay man, as a result of everyday prejudice targeting homosexuality. Gerevich writes that Hungary has indeed changed a lot in the past decades to become more tolerant towards homosexuals. He concludes by writing that children's tales can help make people more tolerant, and help gays overcome self-hatred and accept themselves.
