After a first reading, the Lithuanian parliament has passed amendments to the penal code criminalising the promotion of same-sex relationships. "If the amendments get through the two remaining readings, homosexuals will face penalties ranging from forced labour through to fines and detention," reports Polish daily Dziennik. Penalties for "gay agitation" would apply to both individuals and organisations. The opposition conservative and eurosceptic party Order and Justice (TiT) is agitating for a minimum fine set at €325, the maximum €1,750. A couple of months ago the Lithuanian right sought to push through parliament a bill that equated homosexuality with zoophilia and necrophilia, providing not only fines but also prison sentences for speaking favourably about gay tendencies.
