Homophobic 'Section 28' Lithuanian law breaches EU rights standards
Just as the Lib Dems were the only party to oppose the notorious Section 28 when it was introduced in the UK in 1988, the Liberal Democrats' sister party in Lithuania is leading the battle against a similar law being introduced there now. The Lithuanian Parliament, rejecting a Presidential veto, has confirmed a 'Law on the Protection of Minors against the Detrimental Effect of Public Information'. This bans the "propaganda of homosexuality and bisexuality' from schools and other youth facilities.
