Hong Kong's biggest book fair forced a Taiwan stall to remove 'explicit' LGBT books


TAIPEI, Taiwan — A Taiwanese LGBT publisher has been forced by organizers to stop selling several books at a major expo in Hong Kong. G Books (基本書坊) said in a Facebook post that it was ordered to pull nine titles from its stall at the Hong Kong Book Fair, as the Hong Kong Free Press reported. Event organizers cited a regulation prohibiting the sale of Class II "indecent" books under Hong Kong's Control of Obscene and Indecent Articles Ordinance. LGBT content containing no nudity, sex or other explicit material is often labeled "explicit" and censored or access to it restricted. The Hong Kong Book Fair is the southern Chinese city's largest.
