Ten books were removed from open display in a move that is now being challenged by rights advocates.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has demanded that Hong Kong libraries reverse a decision to keep LGBT-themed children's books out of public view.
The South China Morning Post reported that the rights group described the move to conceal the books in "closed stacks" as sending a "discriminatory message."
In June, Hong Kong removed 10 books—largely about families with same-sex parents—from open display. In order to access them, library patrons must request them specifically.
HRW's director of LGBT advocacy Boris Dittrich said: "Discriminatory placement of LGBT content in libraries not only sends a stigmatising message that LGBT content is inherently inappropriate, but deprives people of their right to access information that could be important to their development, health, and safety."
Libraries removed the books after an anti-LGBT group complained about them being visible. There is now a judicial review pending for the decision.

I have to say something about myself. Sometimes it is hard to introduce yourself because you know yourself so well that you do not know where to start with. Let me give a try to see what kind of image you have about me through my self-description. I hope that my impression about myself and your impression about me are not so different. Here it goes. I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. There are many things I like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read, I like to write; I like to think, I like to dream; I like to talk, I like to listen. I like to see the sunrise in the morning, I like to see the moonlight at night; I like to feel the music flowing on my face, I like to smell the wind coming from the ocean. I like to look at the clouds in the sky with a blank mind, I like to do thought experiment when I cannot sleep in the middle of the night. I like flowers in spring, rain in summer, leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. I like to sleep early, I like to get up late; I like to be alone, I like to be surrounded by people. I like country’s peace, I like metropolis’ noise; I like the beautiful west lake in Hangzhou, I like the flat cornfield in Champaign. I like delicious food and comfortable shoes; I like good books and romantic movies. I like the land and the nature, I like people. And, I like to laugh. I always wanted to be a great writer, like Victor Hugo who wrote "Les Miserable", or like Roman Roland who wrote "John Christopher". They have influenced millions of people through their books. I also wanted to be a great psychologist, like William James or Sigmund Freud, who could read people’s mind. Of course, I am nowhere close to these people, yet. I am just someone who does his thing his own way,But my dream is still alive.I believe that if your not busy living then you are busy not living. NB:Not interested in cam or hookups. I am real, you be real, too.
