That's what I wish I would see anyway. Sorry for the click bait!
This is actually in Hungary.
I just think that here in the US, as stated many times already, that teaching all of this in schools is wrong, as is it being plastered on any children's TV programming.

Hungary Bans LGBT Content for Minors
On Tuesday, Hungary’s parliament passed a law prohibiting the sharing of LGBT content with minors as part of a general bill fighting pedophilia. Many groups condemned this aspect of the law, calling it anti-LGBT discrimination, yet there are serious concerns about the psychological damage that some LGBT lessons may cause young children, particularly when it comes to transgender identity.
“Some organisations use these workshops to influence the sexual development of children with so-called sensitizing programmes as part of anti-discrimination campaigns, which can gravely harm their physical, mental and moral development,” lawmakers in Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz Party wrote in an amendment to the legislation, Reuters reported.
Opposition parties boycotted the vote, leading to a 157-1 vote in the National Assembly, where Fidesz has a parliamentary majority. Lawmakers from the right-wing Jobbik Party also endorsed the measure.
The opposition party Momentum called for a boycott of the Parliament vote, saying the law would endanger the LGBT community. “The Russian template gives us a clear picture of the effect such hate mongering has on a society,” Momentum Chairman Andras Fekete-Gyor said in a statement. “Violence against the LGBTQ community is common there, from authorities and compatriots.”
Yet Orban has drawn contrasts between his government in Hungary and the more repressive Russian government. “Hungary is a tolerant, patient country with regard to homosexuality,” he said in an interview last fall, Deutsche Welle (DW) reported. “But there is a red line that must not be crossed: Leave our children alone!”
Andras Bozoki, a Hungarian political scientist at the Central European University (CEU) in Vienna told DW that the law violates European Union values. He predicted that a European court would probably strike down the law.
When Fidesz drafted the legislation in May, the law only stipulated tougher penalties for pedophilia in the wake of several cases of child abuse among Fidesz supporters. A court sentenced Gabor Kaleta, the former Hungarian ambassador to Peru, on child pornography charges after authorities found 19,000 photos on his devices.
Most of the bill focused on increasing sentences for sex crimes committed against children and establishing a public database of sex offenders. Yet the law also had amendments “that ban the representation of any sexual orientation besides heterosexual as well as gender change information in school sex education programs, or in films and advertisements aimed at anyone under 18,” NPR reported.
