"I welcome the fact that the European Parliament has taken a stand in calling on Lithuania to reject a bill to introduce fines for ‘the public promotion of homosexual relations’. Let us remind ourselves that there is no place for homophobia in Europe and that Article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights clearly prohibits all discrimination on a variety of different grounds, including sexual orientation. The Council is still blocking the introduction of a cross-cutting directive on combating discrimination aimed at guaranteeing equal protection against all forms of discrimination. However, it is high time we acted to prevent laws such as this one, which are far removed from the values we uphold here, from cropping up all over Europe."@en1
