Lithuania responds to criticism of homophobia by strengthening family values
Lithuania responds to criticism of homophobia by strengthening family values - Bryan P. Bradley
The decision of the Lithuanian parliament to ban public information it considers harmful to young people – including the encouragement of ‘sexual relations…that denigrates family values’ – caused a stir with EU officials in Brussels and various NGOs. A resolution condemning the Lithuanian law was passed by the European Parliament but was later overturned by the European Court of Justice. This episode, along with similar cases in Ireland, Italy, and Russia, the author argues, could signal a European-wide trend of ‘people with values’ making their voices heard.
