Saudi Arabia is confiscating rainbow-colored toys, shirts and other items from stores in the capital Riyadh, according to a report by the state-run Al-Ekhbariya channel.
The report, which ran Tuesday evening, claims the Saudi government is attempting to protect children from material it believes is promoting homosexuality.
“We are giving a tour of the items that contradict the Islamic faith and public morals and promote homosexual colors targeting the younger generation,” a Saudi Commerce Ministry official said in the report.
The officials were shown in the report seizing rainbow-colored bows, pencil cases and hats from a shop in the capital.
The report claims the rainbow-colored materials send a “poisoned message” to children.
