Lithuania ranks 34th out of 49 countries on this year’s Rainbow Map published by ILGA-Europe summarising the situation of LGBTIQ rights across the continent. Lithuania is up one notch from last year but still among the last in the EU, with a score of 27.61 percent.
Latvia and Estonia are ranks 37th and 21st, respectively.
Although Lithuania has moved up one notch, it still remains towards the bottom of the European Union list, with only Italy, Latvia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Poland ranking below Lithuania.
“So far, Lithuania has failed to adopt a law on [same-sex civil] partnership, ban the mutilating ‘conversion’ therapy, prepare a plan of measures to ensure equality, and still restricts and fails to protect the rights of trans and non-binary people,” Martynas Norbutas, editor of GayLine.LT, an LGBTIQ rights website, says.
Malta, which has topped the list since 2016, is the highest scorer (87.84 percent), followed by Ireland, Belgium, Spain, and Denmark.
Experts warn of rising discriminatory sentiment and anti-LGBTIQ rhetoric across Europe, which they see as a serious challenge to democratic values.
