The courts finally reversed the ban and Baltic Pride will proceed as planned. I am exhausted by the long months of fighting but it feels surreal to know we actually won. We still need to keep a close watch on how the city handles the event itself.

We the undersigned stand in solidarity with LGBT people across the Baltic Countries and condemn the decision of the Lithuanian Courts to ban Baltic Pride from taking place in Vilnius on the 8th of May. We demand that Baltic Pride be allowed to go ahead and that the diversity and equality of LGBT people in Lithuania and across the Baltics be recognised. We believe that as a member of the European Union, Lithuania should hold itself to a higher standard and support its citizens Human Rights and Freedom of Speech

Five hundred people have signed on to defend Baltic Pride. It has been a draining road so far but seeing this level of support keeps me moving forward.

Ridiculous that this is even a debate. Freedom of speech applies to everyone not just the people you agree with.

Everyone deserves the right to walk in the streets. This ban is just embarrassing for Lithuania in 2010
