Sadness

I'm sure we all have parts of the world that we have a soft spot for, despite having no good reason. One such place for me has long been the Baltics, for being the first to throw off the Soviet Union and for being the best run post-Soviet states.

Therefore, it makes me very sad to see Lithuania pass an ugly anti-gay bill. I know squat about it, except that it criminalizes even teaching kids about homosexuality. It's not Uganda bad, but it's still terrible, and I hope that the EU forces Lithuania to revoke it.
