The National LGBT rights organization LGL expresses its deep concern and strongly condemns such hate crime incidents and their perpetrators. When the images of flag trampling are displayed, a message appears on the screen: “We are not trying to incite discord or hatred! Our aim is to remind you that everyone must defend traditional values.”Īt the end of the recording, after burning the flag, a man with a mask covering his face appears, waving the flag of the Coat of arms of Lithuania, and the words of the National Anthem “And the light, and the truth, May lead our footsteps”. World, wake up…” wrote the person who published the video (language is not corrected). Let us not allow the world to laugh at such ‘problems’ as the abolition of the gender segregation of toilets. It is the duty of everyone to protect and defend the institute of the traditional family. No ideology can be above the concept of family as defined in the Constitution, which defines the family as the union of a man and a woman. The video material was handed over to the law enforcement officials, the circumstances of the incident will be clarified. On 6 January, 2021 a video was posted on a Facebook group in which two men trample a rainbow flag, then wet it and burn it.
