Police in Lithuania launched an investigation after a video posted on Facebook showed four people spray painting over a rainbow-coloured crossing and disrupting traffic.
A bill that would have allowed civil unions for same-sex couples in Lithuania failed to clear its first parliamentary hurdle on Tuesday.
The bill, dubbed the Partnership Law, needed 65 votes to move forward. In a narrow defeat, 63 MPs voted in favour, 58 against and seven abstained. I am disappointed with yesterday’s decision. Nevertheless, [the] good news is that we have received the support of 63 MPs and we lacked only two votes to pass the Partnership Law at the first hearing, Tomas Raskevičius, an openly gay MP who sponsored the bill, told Euronews.
Raskevičius, a member of the liberal Freedom Party, vowed to introduce the bill again in the autumn but said he would likely be making changes in a bid to gain more support for the legislation.
