We Can Be Gay Today: Baltic Pride 2013

“All the empires, the Romans, Byzantines and Babylonians, they died because of that”. That’s what a member of the parliament has the right to say about homosexuality in Lithuania, while the commercials for the Baltic Pride Parade were banned from TV. Through the 2013 Baltic Pride in Vilnius, capital city of Lithuania, we show the LGBT* situation in this country. Vladimir and Tomas, amongst others are dedicating their time, their energy and their knowledge to fight for this cause, facing fiercely opposed politicians. Can a homosexual person live in Lithuania? Is a 24-year-old country with a strong religious community ready to welcome LGBT people?
