Legal and social discrimination blight the small Baltic state’s LGBT+ community.
The Lithuanian government moved on Wednesday to discard a controversial law dubbed by critics as the “gay propaganda” law.
The notorious legislation - passed in 2009 - shields minors from information about same-sex marriage and LGBTQI issues.
Controversy surrounds its provision against info that “expresses contempt for family values [or] encourages… entry into a marriage and creation of a family other than stipulated in the Constitution”.
Not all countries accept European progressivism, Hungary has never been on that side, last year Italy opted out and recently Slovakia too. The role of a real and fair supranational organization is to make these two souls coexist peacefully and being impartial, not to get rid of one of the because it goes in the “wrong” direction. So far they have always respected national will and allowed to be “united in differences”.
Your comment is completely right. It is also not in contradiction with what I wrote.
I did not want to contradict, only to add. I agree with you that EU officers and MPs (reflecting the opinion of a consistent part of the EU population) actually hold double standards and should be more consistent.
