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”.
