The Lithuaninans also appear to have taken leave of their senses ...and of European Convention on Human Rights and various other paperwork to which they are signatories.
Despite a Presidential veto and widespread international criticism, the Lithuanian Parliament has adopted a 'Law on the Protection of Minors against the Detrimental Effect of Public Information'.
The list of information deemed harmful to the mental health and "intellectual or moral development" of minors includes: instructions on how to make explosives; graphic depictions of violence or death; and material that "agitates for homosexual, bisexual, and polygamous relations". This legislation would criminalise or otherwise prohibit the public portrayal of homosexuality or any information relating to it.

"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. ... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night devoid of stars." Martin Luther King
