They did recently decide to uphold the law earlier this year though, there was some vote in the Seimas. https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/2118659/lithuanian-parliament-rejects-changes-to-controversial-anti-lgbtq-information-law Argh, I hate all the crap about "family values" and "LGBTQ being harmful to minors." What's really harmful is denying people access to knowledge that might help them, even just by showing them that there's other queer people in the world. You're not alone.

It's funny how the conservatives in the Netherlands in 2001 were saying that nobody would follow them in legalizing same-sex marriage, but now, in the 22+ years since, 35 other countries have done it, lol. I hope it takes a lot less time to get the next 35 nations in the list.

Genius1111 Posted April 16 Author Posted April 16 https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/11/27/across-asia-views-of-same-sex-marriage-vary-widely/ I think I missed this back in Nov 2023. Taiwan being at only 45% 5 to 6 years after the legalization of SSM is honestly quite disappointing. The fact that Singapore, with (1) a higher percentage of Muslims and Christians, (2) a mainstream media environment where homos cannot be portrayed positively and (3) a tragically low number of BL actors, is also at 45% is just... Hopefully there's some chance of same-sex unions here before I turn 50. To be honest, a 45% support rate here (in 2023) is really quite encouraging.
