Given the weekend in it, I will be popping along to this later today……
STOP HOMOPHOBIC LAW IN LITHUANIA.
Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania on Sunday, 28th of June at 2pm. 90 Merrion Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4
On June 16 , the Lithuanian Parliament adopted and amended new law. This new anti gay law is a spit in the face of European values. To limit freedom of expression based on homophobia is a clear breach of EU’s fundamental rights and principles. Lithuania now is the most homophobic country in EU.
Please join protest at the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania on Sunday, 28th of June at 2pm. 90 Merrion Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4

I really wish Lithuania receives a penalty and imposed restrictions on their Membership to EU for breaching the treaties that they signed in 2004 by becoming an EU Member. This backward minded country has no place in the EU. Wikipedia says on their LGBT Lithuania that more than 80% of the country thinks homosexuality is a “disease”. If they’re hostile to us, we’re hostile to them. I suggests all LGBT individuals exclude Lithuania from their travels and don’t even spend a single penny that goes to Lithuania.

Some comments sound shallower than the most homophobic Lithuanian himself. One needs to be familiar with historical and cultural context and to realise why those phobias do exist. In Soviet Lithuania all the ‘others’ was being victimised by the powers that be. No coloured, no hippies, no invalids, no gays. No record of suicides. No mental cases. No contradictory art. No middle and high class. No rock-an-roll music. No denim. No chewing gum. No private possession.
Give us a break mr Activist1. And do your survey on the people who are not older than the country they were born in. The country will turn 20 in Feb, 2010. 20 years for a country is not enough to get rid of all the phobias, yet there is a strong LGTB community and I never felt repressed or anything like that in there. The idiotic government doesnt stand for the whole country does it? They are discriminating all the countrymen btw. Come to the Men Factory in Vilnius, the best club ever, That’s where i met my gf haha
