The Lithuanian parliament has passed a law that prohibits the
discussion of homosexuality in schools and bans any reference to it in
public information that can be viewed by children.

The Seimas overwhelmingly voted to amend the "Law on the Protection of
Minors against the Detrimental Effect of Public Information" on
Tuesday. Of 74 parliamentarians that checked in for voting, 67 voted
in favour of the legislation.
