THE BEST VILNI GAY CLUBS & BARSGAY CLUBS & BARS VILNI

Sixteen years after Lhuania liberated self om Soviet shackl, the hardly-risque Internatnal Lbian and Gay Associatn (ILGA) announced they will hold their annual European nference Vilni.

THE BEST LHUANIA GAY CLUBS & BARSGAY CLUBS & BARS LHUANIA

This opn is more mon than not the Baltic untri where homophobia remas firmly entrenched, ntrast to Wtern Europe where gays and lbians have bee visible, if not fully accepted, members of society. Perhaps the most shockg factoid me om a 2003 poll which revealed that 68% of Lhuanians would prefer to live next door to a dg aler or nvicted crimal than a homosexual. " This wispread and stutnalised homophobia mak almost impossible for gay Lhuanians to reveal their sexual orientatn (no Lhuanian celebry or public figure has ever e out as openly gay).

That such an anisatn - workg towards the regnn and acceptance of gays LT - is forced to operate wh such extreme discretn speaks volum about the current stat of homosexuals the untry. Regardls of public reactn to this event, the ftival is a major step towards creatg solidary wh Vilni' gay and lbian muny, enuragg muny awarens and slowg wearg down Lhuania's evasn of homosexual issu.

GAY VILNI

Wh Rabow Days as a primer for the nference, lol and European anisatns should have a better ia of how ready and willg Lhuania is to face the gay skeleton s closet, and how bt to support s 'g out.

WEIRST, MOST ENTERTAG, FUNNIT GAY CLUB EXPERIENCE MY LIFE

For gay travellers to Vilni, the cy has snt offergs terms of gay-iendly nightlife, wh only one official gay club (perhaps the only all of Lhuanian), but 's a doozy.

Per he' Luania tanti problemi e poi giro per Italian tostrada nei percheggi troviamo mnisti Che si lasciano fare Di tutto da noi Gay e' gorse Che a Casa logo Hanno Lra poi quanto sono fluori l loro terrorial fanno tutto CIO Che non pls sono fare Luania a UDINE nel parchegg Della dogma a al sabato sera e Domi dove parchegg no si fa Di tutto e dipiu' basta dare loro barre e works poi ti fanno saltire sul Camn e li fai n Lui CIO Che tu voi allograft mi domanda se lomossuala' non e' accept tats Luania per he' quanto sono fluori l loro terror fanno tutto e si se to ntenti e liberati dal loro modo Di venre... Jt when you thk Amerins take the ke for beg homophobic then you go to Lhuania and fd out there are people more stupid and partner is Lhuanian and god for bid his fay or village fd out he is uld/would kill him and would be totally acceptable. A lot of young handsome people, mostly gay and bisexual boys and mens, addn som lbian girls an dwimens, and some one who has not sid yet, or are cure for what they want.

Please be assured, that gay people, along wh their straight iends, will never stop fightg for equaly and for the realisatn that is not a bad thg to love someone of the same sex. I have personally enuntered an unpleasant scene sna when a young fay wh children were forced to leave bee gay uple were almost havg sex there takg no regard of the others.

SURPRISG HISTORY OF FIRST UNRGROUND GAY CLUBS LHUANIA

Their sexualy do not ncern me and should not ncern the rt of the world, and I'm happy that they are happy beg hont lovg people but I do not feel right to let them ignore certa society l jt bee they are gay. Comg om Lhuania, I do feel the public opposn towards homosexualy as such; neverthels, I unrstand that two different sets of valu are juxtaposed: the ncept of personal eedom to live cently and tradnal fay valu which the image of homosexualy do not promote. While the society is very plex and diverse, the qutns to ask is what homosexuals want to monstrate by marchg the streets, and whether is effective changg the attu homophob.

ankly, what do you thk, if you wre gayish ments here, won't there be more tourists Vilni who are sick of perverts, than there would be gays and their supporters overall?

GAY LIFE LHUANIA

OPEN that pathetic closed md of yours and face embrace realy and the very lovely people and MY iends that are gay and thank god for them and the add diversy of life. I wish people would wake up if ure christan or relig then read God ma man and woman to have children to give birth to life like the earth but re now we are killg the earth but we are supposed to be the keepers of earth u are supposed to love everyone no matter who or wat they are if u dont then God n hate u if u hate this then i n i hate u an eye for eye basilly the only thg that homosexuals are dog wrong is not givg life thats all if u have sex for fun thats lt which is a s u have sex for the creatn of children this is my pot not ur so believe eat u want to believe.

Many Lhuanians who have worked the UK, where LGBT people are more accepted, have worked wh gays, noticed they are no different to straights, and lost their homophobic opns.

GAY MUNICH

Gay rights activists and anizers are vilified Catholic Vilni; meanwhile, largely Catholic Mexi has legalized same sex marriage and Brazilian megapolis San Paolo hosted the world's largt pri event wh over three ln participants early June.

14 GAY-IENDLY CI THAT LGBT TRAVELLERS LOVE

I n't say that is a "very good club", 's really all about the experience of seeg a gay club an ex-URSS untry and disverg that the lols are jt startg to build their gay muny.

Simonko tells, that the answer is y, but there were some important nuanc: ‘’It was dangero, sce many gangs would beat up people, who were lookg strange to them’’ the biggt ncert hall Vilni – to the gay clubUnrground gay parti attracted foreign celebri as well. One of the parti held the Palace of the Tra Unns was vised by the lear of synthpop group ‘’Bronski Beat’’ Jimmy the end of the 20th century the mic of ‘’Bronski Beat’’ was popular not only among the the homosexuals.

Platovas draws attentn to an oxymoron – now, when the life of the LGBT muny is bee better and easier, the number of gay clubs is signifintly lower than ever Vilni there is an only LGBT club, which is open for only two days a week.

The same suatn stands for non-heterosexual visors to Knas, who may fd difficult to believe that the send cy of an EU member state currently obssed wh s forthg stat as European Capal of Culture still don’t posss a permanent gay bar or club.
