The Lithuanian parliament (Seimas) rejected a proposal last week for legalization of same-sex partnerships put forth mostly by members of the liberal faction. Twenty-nine members of Seimas voted in support for the legalization of same-sex partnerships, 59 voted against, and 20 abstained from voting.

Archbishop Grušas said at a ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of independence from the Soviet Union , “We are seeing more and more legal products with the European trademark that destroy the [country’s] foundations.” “By attempting to penetrate into our legal system via the legal Trojan horses , they are, first of all, doing everything to undermine the institution of the family – the core of Lithuania, which our Constitution presents as the basis of our society and nation.” “This is done,” he said, “by pushing conventions and gender declarations, which erase the difference between a man and a woman, between a father and a mother and quietly introducing the concepts of genderism.” He warned that the municipal gove
